[QUOTE="Ahall, post: 4379686, member: 49426"] A single shot 45/70 was the first gun I purchased after turning 18. I don't know how many thousands of rounds I have run through it. Handloading is required for it to reach its true potential. It's easy to load at a variety of power levels, and the cases last, and last, and last, and last. With a 300 grain hollow point it does surprisingly little meat damage to white tails, but drops the quickly. Field dressing can be a little messy, as it usually makes a mess of whatever organs it comes close to. The upside/downside of the round is that it has a trajectory resembling a rainbow. Great round for brushy country, or where you need the round in the dirt before it reaches the property borders. [/QUOTE]
