Doesn't a 45/70 have way more penetrations then a Beowulf .50 ?  I saw a frind  shoot a big cow elk in the shoulder from 60 yards away and it barely went through the first shoulder blade.  It was a hollow point.  It ran and it took 28° to find it.  Not a good day and bad feeling for both of us becouse i was the one that said it would b good out to 70 yards.

A .450 Bushmaster would be much closer to 45-70 performance than a .50 B when it comes to a AR.

.450 uses pistol bullets....   .452 bore

.458 SOCOM uses rifle...  .458 bore

.375 SOCOM is the way to go in a largish bore AR15 IMHO.....

Do they still make that version of the M1 Garand in .458 Win Mag?  That should make a fun brush gun.  Probably only way I'd be convinced to carry that dang rifle again.  :chuckle:

McCann passed away a couple years ago.

I always thought it would be fun to do one in 35 Whelen.

A 458wm  Garand?  That rifle would automatically transform you into a certifiable Tyranosaurous Rex.

Mr Mcann let me shoot one of the 458 Garands once at Tacoma Sportsmans club. Very nice rifle, not that much recoil.
I liked it
