  These new hot 45-70 loads are probaly closer to a 458 win mag than the original 45-70.

  Several years ago I shot an old steel sledgehammer head at 125 yards with a 1944 Kar98k using 1943 Turkish 155gr cupronickel FMJ lead core ammunition. The bullet made a deep crater in the steel, made a nearly perfect 180° ricochet, and struck me on the knuckles of my right hand which was still gripping the stock (my trigger hand). It didn't break any bone but I have 3 scars there now. It felt like someone had just walked up beside me and smacked me across the knuckles with a 2 by 4.

  I would love to see the difference in 45-70 loads comparing different rounds like 300 grain to 400 to 500 to 730 grain, lead vs solid copper

  The "Time to grind!" always cracks me up.

  Like always, another great video. No bullshit, no dragged out skits, just straight to the point. Never change your video style

  I'd love to see a test between the 50 Beowulf and the 350 Marlin Magnum! That would be a monster test! I love your channel

  I built a very light 458 SOCOM [6.5lbs loaded &amp; with optics] with a good muzzle brake to tame the recoil and use 410gr Sub-X heads pushed at 1600fps for my Elk brush/heavy-woods gun... It performed fantastic since the elk aren&apos;t armored. 😂 no follow-up shot necessary and the sling options make it easy to carry in a way that provides faster acquisition and less muscle fatige... a real bonus on long walk hunts or rough terrain. <br>Terminal ballistics and defeating barriers is neat at the bench, but there&apos;s far more to be considered for use in the field.

  One of my first training rifles was a Springfield Trapdoor Rifle 1873+\- in .45-70 with original gov’t issue black powder loads pushing 450gr lead bullets. It took me awhile to learn to stand up to the recoil and not let it make me take a step or two back.
