RE: hard decision own gun
Come on guys, he said he is just out of high school.
The 45-70 is a great choice. I load my standard loads arond 1300 fps with a 405 grain bullet. I think the recoil is quit light, and I can assure you the load is deadly. I think you should get the 30-30 also. I think you should strive to get them all. Tom. |
RE: hard decision own gun
I don't like the 270 for close in stuff either, too much meat damage and sometimes I'v had bullet blow up and poor penetration. I know that a different bullet could solve those problems, but why ruin a real good excuse to buy another gun. The 30-30 is likely all you need, but you'll love that 45-70 when you get it.
