PERSONALY, I DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT THE 45-70 BUT, MY FATHER CARRIES A 444. I'VE SEEN HIM ROLL A 300# FERRAL HOG ON THE RUN AT 50YDS. HE USES IT FOR WHITETAIL ON DRIVES AND IN THE THICK STUFF, AND IT'LL STOP'EM. IF IT'S AN OPEN SITED BRUSH GUN MAKE MINE A MARLIN, IF I NEED A BIG BORE MAKE IT A 444.
