Because .45-70 when using hot rounds is accurate out to 500 yards. If you know you won't be shooting anything further than like 150 slugs are probably better.

Theres more gunpowder in a 45-70

Because fuck you that's why

Because someone might have a .45-70 and not a 12 gauge.

Even the hottest 12 gauge slugs are over 1000ft-lb weaker than 45-70, retard. They also aren't rifled.

I went shooting the other day and shot some Hornady leverution and some Montana company bear loads out of marlin that absolutely killed my shoulder. I like shooting large caliber stuff and it's never been an issue for me before but 4570 can be brutal. Any tips 4570 fags?

>go to store
>look at box of slugs
>Rifled Slugs

What did you mean by that?

He's just a larper pretending he shoots $5/round ammo.

Don't flinch and don't bitch.

Great thanks, what should I do about my shoulder getting pounder into hamburger meat tho shithead?

Not true.

Get a limb saver. It's a rubber recoil pad that helps a lot

>Violate SAAMI spec and hope you don't blow up

>Violate saami spec
It's factory ammo. Get a better shotgun

I've heard people talking about these for years do they actually work?

Pretty well actually

>Sabots
>Require a rifled barrel

Remind me again why they are better than a rifle cartridge?

Because leverguns are sexy

Why even use anything to defend yourself or your home when you want to die?

This too

One of the biggest advantages of a shotgun is the variety of ammo. At that point you're basically buying a shotgun with a far more limited range of ammo available.

My Benelli shoots it all. Not really a limitation

.45-70 has a flatter trajectory, weighs less too. And unless you're using a rifled barrel it's more accurate

Honestly I'd rather have a shotgun if I had to choose just one though

they dont require a rifled barrel, i shoot them out of my smooth bore Benelli super nova with no problem

the accuracy wont be good enough to hunt with however

To my knowledge, 45-70 doesn't come in semi auto. Bears/ criminals btfo

Try not being a bitch.
In all seriousness though, a rag taped over the steel butt plate does wonders for an extended range trip

what the fuck are you smoking

pic related is a normal hunting slug, with 3014 ft lbs of energy

>he doesnt Own a drum fed 45-70 in case of T-rex / zulu uprising

Little faggot

Still dumb and worthless

I know you are but what am i?

Sell your 45-70 and buy a .22 ya bitch boy.

Clearly 12

.458SOCOM uses the same bullets as .45-70.
They can't be loaded as hot, but it can be close to many commercial loads.

Anyone have the picture of the 12 gauge slug that's literally just a 45-70 in a shell with a $2 markup?

Why are shotgunfags so retarded? Why do you continually pretend slugs are more accurate out to longer ranges compared to rifle rounds? Worse than 1911 fanboys.

fpbp
.45-70 from a rifle has accuracy at range

Put one on a .338 win mag and I can go through a twenty round box with no issues. Have them on several shotguns too.
