45-70 is a great round. If you handload you can load mild to wild with it. For that matter, the 458 Lott can easily be loaded down to mirror all the 45-70 loads using the same projectiles. You could even load 458 Lott with black powder and cast bullets and have a 45-110 of sorts.I used to hand load my 45-7p, mainly because when I started shooting it (moose hunting with a NEF single shot way back)
I used to hand load my 45-70, mainly because when I started shooting it (moose hunting with a NEF single shot way back) there were no good factory rounds. Worked up my own 300gr JHP round for hunting. Now there are lots of good factory 300 JHPs out there so I don’t bother any more.
