Peter - for hunting here in B.C., the .45/70 wins hands down in my books, but there are those who would choose the '06.
; FPE is pretty much as far removed from actual killing power as one can get, but if those numbers mean much to you, OK, so be it.
; With a 400gr. bullet loaded to 43,000PSI, the .45/70 Marlin will develop 2,100fps, which is: 2,100 x 2,100 = 4,410,000 x 400 = 1,764,000,000 divided by 450240 = 3,918 foot pounds of energy.
; I wasn't aware the old '06 even came close to that number - heh, learn something new every day. What load would that be in the '06 - anyway? That '06 must have had an UltraMag case around it.
