[QUOTE="NeptunesTrident, post: 704714, member: 53231"] I have a guide gun in 45-70. It's a very versatile round. Most factory rounds are loaded very mild (for use in older firearms) and have very little recoil. Some companies (Buffalo Bore, Grizzly, Corbon, Garrett) also sell fully loaded max power rounds for use in strong firearms such as Marlin 1895 or Ruger #1 and that turns it into whole other class of power. My 45-70 is my favorite gun to shoot. Something fun about launching 400-500 grain bullets rapid fire out of a fast lever action. If you handload you can load it from mild to wild with a wide variety of bullets. My 350 Gr. load has a PBR of 225 yards for elk and is roughly 18in low at 300 yards. It's very accurate too. I much prefer the 45-70 over the 450 just because of the wide range of factory ammo available. Like I said, you can buy mild factory rounds and full power rounds. [/QUOTE]
