The 45-70 is one of the best cartridges ever, no ifs ands or buts about it.

Yes,I would say so. Not my choice for SW Montana or Idaho where you see game at artillery range, but otherwise, good. Look at it like this. Bull bison, which is thick skinned, reach 1600-2000 pounds. (Some more.) More afoot there than a brownie or grizzly. And it kills them. Always has. Always will.

Brrr. Cold day at the chuckwagon. Time for some moonshine.

What caliber do you think eradicated the American Bison to almost extinction?

You asked if it is worth it, worth it for what? You don't say whatfor?
