Nothing against Black powder but .45-70 is shit compared to .577/450 or .43 mauser are all better calibers, neither of which are STILL being loaded like the shit 45-70
A thread died died for this OP.
Lets start with OPs we hate
This one
.40 s&w. It's an absolute shit middle ground/pig round that is dead for good reason
Am I the only one who doesn’t enjoy .22lr? I like to feel like I’m actually shooting something
Bull. Shit.
.45-70 memes all over virtually every military black powder cartridge, while reaching ridiculous performance in heavy smokeless loads ALL THE WHILE being far easier to reload due to its straight wall.
I'm sorry your obsolete nonsense wasn't good enough to be the only government you can trust.
Give me one way it’s superior to 577/450
>.577/450 or .43 mauser
The fuck are you talking about.
