Greetings Rockfish,

This forum welcomes you, the T/C Encore, and the 45-70 cartridge.

The 45-70 as a DG cartridge has indeed been a source of heated debate on other forums. Quite honestly, the debate strikes me as rather silly. Kind of like entering the Indy 500 with a '73 Ford LTD

The 45-70 is a wonderful and historic cartridge that certainly enjoys a faithful following today. I love to attend the BRCR comps. What these guys do with their rifles is quite amazing.

Often, a successful and popular cartridge begins to take on a reputation that borders on the magical. The 45-70 is not the only load to have experienced this. And, as one would expect, the magic does not exist and what we are left with are the facts... and a damn fine cartridge.

Welcome to the forum and enjoy yourself here.
