Just a suggestion, some of you may have tried it but if you ARE partial to carrying a 45-70 guide gun, just for grins pick up a box of 2 1/2” .410 shotgun shells and try them. It’s single shot loading but works like a charm. Great for having around for knocking off dinner whether it’s grouse, ptarmigan, bunnies, whatever. Low pressure, Recoil is almost nothing, kills out to ~35-40’, ejects great like it was made for it. DONT use 3” .410 shells. Once they’re fired they’re too long to eject. 2 1/2’s no problem at all. Kinda fun plinking. Shells expand to the chamber and are junk once fired but I’ve never had any split. Enjoy!
