Wish I could see the pic's...
Interestingly enough, I too just bought a new .45-70. It is a Henry Steel, but the only thing that is going to go down it's bore is lead. Hard cast 405's driven to good velocity have a reputation for killing most anything they hit. USNA Buffalo Bore offers a 430gr lead flat nose at 1925fps. I am definitely going to have to hand load to afford to shoot mine.GI3
Congratulations on your new thunder boomer. .45-70's are just plain fun to shoot.USNA
