I am lost as to why someone would want to fuck about with 45/70s on buffalo.

For me, if I wanted to break away from the "normal" I would try something like a 30/378 with 150 Barnes Xs at 3800 or 180 Barnes Xs at 3500 or perhaps 200 grains Barnes Xs at 3250. Now lets's just say that such a combination worked then it would offer lots of other pluses over the 416, 458, 500 etc.

But if a 45/70 proves to be OK for buffalo what have you got. The "normals" for buffalo like 375, 416 etc will piss all over the 45/70 for plains game.

I am also lost on the "fun factor" for 45/70s on buffalo. it is quite different to blasting kangaroos in the spotlight with a 378 or 460 Wby as opposed to the accpeted 223, 22/250 and 243. Now that does provide some spectacle and adds another dimension to the night's shooting.

To me, using the 45/70 on the buffalo would be the counterpart of giving up the 22/250 or 243 for the spotlighting and taking a M92 32/20 out for the night.

Mike
