Got a call

[Kurt]

There was the .44-70 Maynards and .44-75 Ballards plus others but I think your right about the GOV. using the .45 calibers. That is just like the Gov. now using the .223's now they took over the .222 and the .22-250.

I have a .45-70 in the 95 Marlin and it is a hand full with that light rifle with a load of black and a 485 gr or a 500 gr bullet. It belts me just as hard as the .50 does.
