If you can hit it, a 45/70-500 will kill anything. The problem is hitting it. https://researchpress.uk/firearms/longrange/sandy-hook-1879/ .45-70 at Two Miles: The Sandy Hook Tests of 1879 When the Springfield long range cartridge was fired, the 500-grain blunt nosed lead bullets propelled by...

The 45/70 needed a long barrel when the propellant was black powder. When loaded with smokeless the 45/70 acts much like a handgun cartridge. My go-to load is about 13 grains of Unique behind a 500 grain lead bullet, gives about 1,000FPS. That round will kill anything you can hit with it...

When he was the New York City Police Commissioner, Theodore Roosevelt standardized the department's use of the Colt New Police revolver. The cartridge was then adopted by several other northeastern U.S. police departments.[4] The .32 Long is well known as an unusually accurate cartridge. This...

An interesting historical note about police use of revolvers is that, when he was NY Police Commissioner, Theodore Roosevelt standardized the department's use of the Colt New Police revolver. The cartridge was then adopted by several other northeastern U.S. police departments.[4] The .32 Long is...

Old, fat and slow, a .45 ACP still gets the job done. It got the US Army through several serious wars.

The .357 was developed for law enforcement as a revolver cartridge able to defeat ballistic vests and automobile metal then being used by criminals, when before then only the Colt Super Automatic could do that. For myself, I feel that a .38 Special, or even a .38 S&W, is more than adequate for...

If you are only shooting paper targets in competition, then it may be important whether your firearm shoots 1 MOA or 2 MOA, but IRL even a 5 MOA firearm is more than adequate at realistic ranges. Maj EGB Reynolds states the accuracy standard for the No. 4 Mk I was the same as the No. 1 rifle at...

Old, fat and slow, a .45 ACP still gets the job done. In fact, the USA fought a lot of wars with the old war horse. Of course, it was men who fought those wars.

If you can hit it with a 45-70-500 at any range, you can kill it. The problem is determining the range because of the high arc of the round. https://usarmorment.com/pdf/45-70.pdf

That BSA is a thing of beauty.

There is a 30-30 and a 45-70 barrel for the T/C Contender. Never have found one, though.

Whether cartridge or muzzle loader, the single shot weapon is the antithesis of the currently popular autoloading rifle. While proponents of the autoloaders are buying larger and larger magazines and practicing changing them, those of us who like single shots are learning how to make that one...

Boat: a hole in the water surrounded by wood into which one throws money.

Think of Louisiana, if you can stand the heat. In 2012 we passed a constitutional amendment to strengthen 2d Amendment rights in the state, I think by 70%.

BTW, I am a 2d Amendment purist. Just because I don't like something does not mean somebody else should not be allowed to own it. IMHO, it has nothing to do with hunting. It is a check on governmental power, which is why the statists hate it.

Another pet peeve is being on the down side of the ejection port of an AR or AK shooter who is doing mag dumps.

I went through Basic Training with an M1, was issued an M14 my first tour in Germany. My first tour in RVN I mostly carried an M79 and a .45 1911A1. Second tour I was issued an M16 for guard duty. Never did like the things, still don't. I refuse to go to the range, because there are mostly...

.All wars fought between 1900 and WWII were fought mainly with bolt guns.

I spent about 6 years on active duty with the US Army, including two tours in Vietnam. I also spent about another 10 years in the Reserves. Not cleaning whatever weapon I use, whether I fire it or not, whenever I carry it, would go against all that habit. I guess I never shoot enough for high...
