Its a good gun if you are shooting through trees...
ballistics are sad at best... I know everyone has seen the Quigley movie... but the .45/70 just plain can't kill effectively past 300 yards. They make everrything from 230gr all the way to 550gr.

so the .45/70 gov't is a good brush gun, over-all...which's where i'd be using it mostly, anyway...would u prefer a lever-gun, single shot, or ???? i wouldn't plan on using it past about 200 yds at most, unless i was very well versed in how to drop it in on a target...thanks...
