Ahh...thanks. Im learning (slowly) about all this. Right now from whatpeople have said and looking around myselfi think imleaning towards the 45/70 for the fact that its nice and cheap and the variaty of loads its offered in. You've got me intrigued about the .458 and thats definitely something i'll look into once Ilearn a little moreand get comfortable ebough to maybe start re-loading myself.
