Oh... My 45-70 is not a pistol! It's a big, honkin', antique buffalo
rifle. When I shoot it, I put the stock against a tree so I don't
dislocate my shoulder! They do make handguns that will take these
cartridges, but holy cow, you'd need to be very careful of your
stance, and tape up your wrists!

Wussie. I've shot max loads in a 3" barreled Model 27 Smith, .44 mag.
And
I didn't tape my wrists. Couldn't keep the gun from rising up in my grip,
but it wasn't painful.

45-70 is a black powder cartridge, not made for high internal pressures,
so
it can't be loaded up like a .44mag. Not to mention that the antique guns
made for the cartridge wouldn't tolerate those sorts of high pressures.
Big
slug, but slow and with the trajectory of a bowling ball dropped off the
roof.

Max, you are an idiot, in addition to not knowing anything about guns. I
use 500
grain cartridges, and everybody who actually knows anything about guns
knows
that the 45-70 rifle has an effective range of 2 miles or better.

Bwwwaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You've been watching "Quigley Down Under," haven't ya.

A .22 LR has a range of two miles if you aim it 45 degrees above the
horizon, which is what you'd have to do with a 45-70.

Give us fact, Einstein--not urban myths. You can BS to the general public
all you want, but you'll not gain any quarter from experience arms owners.
