45s_saves_lives

You asked about the penetration ability of a .45/70 with 540 gr Hard cast projectiles.

The fellow client in the Matetsi tried shooting an elephant with them. The elephant was already dead, he having shot it with a .500 A-square or something. They shot it in the skull with the .45/70 to see if it penetrated adequately. From memory I think they thought it penetrated adequately with about 3 1/2 feet of penetration. Myself I think more may be better but they thought that was OK to hunt elephant with the next year.
