I know it is kinda going against the grain here and at Accurate Reloading, but I am disappointed in the lack of the previously-advertised Sabatti in 45/70. There are those of us out there that have no real need for a DG stopper but do need a cartridge good for most US game AND is cheap to shoot. Cheap ammo = more shooting practice. More practice = higher success rate. And higher success rate = more jerky.
I own a Remington Baikal 45/70. It is what it is, a good solid Soviet Ziv. Now, a Sabatti isn't a Ferrari but a Fiat is better than a Ziv.

I build more 45-70's than any other cartridge. People just love them, including me!
Is this Tom O.?
No, not Tom O. That's why I'm Sgt. Brown. I do know Tom from the gunshow circuit, however.
The suggestions on downloading larger calibers, etc., are well founded... IF you can reload. For various reasons I cannot. Factory ammo only. Considering the factory price for loaded big bore ammo, the darned rifle would just sit except for special occasions. I want a shooter, not a rifle I cannot afford to shoot all I want. And the only buffalo I am ever going to see are on a friend's bison farm.
