For general deer and black bear hunting, the lighter recoil, superior trajectory, and higher retained energy of the.300 savage makes it a clear winner with the old.30/30 panting into second place. Also, the latter has a rimmed case and the former has a rebated rim—noticeable groove or slimming of the diameter above it. The first, and most obvious, difference between 45 70 compared to 30 30 is the size of the bullet each fires.

Designed in 1873, this round was meant for use by the us army with their springfield rifles during and after the american civil war.
It will easily take all of but the largest north american game. What i really want though is a marlin 1894 pre. The 45/70 is one of my favorites for hunting, but the 45 colt goes out the door with me most times afield. I have two.444's and a.450.
Boar dead in his tracks erffortlessly.
The 45/70 hand loaded for a ruger #1 is one mean rifle, so is the marlin 45/70 just don't expect it to run a hot load your ruer likes. The physical dimensions of each cartridge are far from identical, despite the resemblance. If it is just to have a longarm to go with your 45 colt, you might want to consider a 45 colt levergun. 0 out of 5 $ 659.00.
The.444 shoots much flatter than most folks realize.
This is for a variety of reasons, but there are more than a few hunters out there who are skeptical of the capabilities of the cartridge when they see its. To put this into perspective, a boeing 737 commercial airliner travels at a cruising speed of 600 mph, or 880 fps. I enjoy the marlin 336 30/30 but like the 357 magnum more. This relates to both case capacity and the saami.
