You'll probably enjoy this:
It's definitely great to see cartridges like those starting to get some renewed attention.

Interesting video, I'm a 9.3X62 shooter. I might add I also shoot a 6.5X55. I don't need a Man-Bun gun the old standard still do the job.

First "new" firearm I ever bought (1985) was a Thompson Center Super-14 Contender in .35Rem. Topped it with a x2 power LER scope.

Recently handed it down to one of my Sons.

I have had at least one 45/70 on hand since the 70's. The cartridge has never really ever fallen completely out of favor and certainly will get the job done inside of 200 yards.
Cuterebra are NOT cute!

Oh wow, very interesting. I'll bet it works great in the role: easy to carry on the trail, yet still hits hard when it's time to close the deal!

  • How do you measure trying, you do, or you don’t.
👍 Thanks for sharing
