RE: 45-70 Gov Best Rifle Choice
The loading manuals have different data for the Ruger #1 & #3 along with the 1895 Marlins. Where does the TC Encore fall into this. Do they have to be loaded to theSpringfield dataor into the Ruger category? It would seem they would be the same as the Ruger. The only reason I say this is because you can buy much larger centerfire barrels for the Encore than the 45-70. I was leaning towards the TC, but maybe I should consider the Ruger #1 because you could shoot any of the published loads. What is everyone elses take on this?
Thanks for all your responses
