Let's see.........the U.S Army bailed out on the 45-70 in favor of the 30/40 Krag and then went to the 30-06 well over a century ago. And even though it's now obsolete for military use, the 30-06 is far more versatile than the 45-70 is as a hunting cartridge in just about every way.

Then along comes the 458 Win. Mag. in 1956, and almost immediately that cartridge became suspect due to the fact that it's short on case-capacity.

And now the 45-70, which doesn't shoot as flat and isn't as accurate as the 30-06, and doesn't have the case capacity of the suspect 458 Win. Mag. is the modern do-everything wunder cartridge, huh?

I don't think so.........not for any hunting purpose that I'll ever need to fill. In fact, I've been so turned-off by some of this 45-70 froth in recent years that I'll never own one, pure and simple.
