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.
>He shoots trapdoor safe .45-70
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
>Montana bear loads
was it HSM?
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
range
what is rifling

>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.
>he owns an AR instead of a glorious gatling gun
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.
