No, I did not ask that question in sports afield, but, maybe I should. Why, was there someone else out there with a similar foolhardy notion?

Somebody asked about using it in the January edition (although now I am not 100% certain it was the Marlin - I need to check) and Kevin Robertson was of the opinion that it was below the legal minimum in the energy department. Having said that, I expect that he was talking about factory loads.

As regards handguns, I'm pretty sure that there is a section on cape buff with handguns in Mark Hamptons book. In the same way as the 45-70 can clearly be made to work with the right loads and guns and in suitable experienced hands, as Daryl_S and 9.3x57 point out, it probably isn't advisable for all but the very experienced and even then you may be asking for trouble...

Certainly wouldn't be high on my list of things to do before I die. If it was, it might have to be a very short list! Hopefully that doesn't re-start the "war"! JMHO
