    It’s a good platform and a good round. Might want to invest in a mouthguard. It’s gonna be a little rough on the shoulder with heavy loaded ammo.

    Going with Hornady LeverEvolution 325 gr FTX,that load should be good for deer and small hogs.Recoil should not be too bad.

    Went to the range today to shoot the .45/70 not bad.At 25 yds. first shot was 1"low,next 2 shots bullseye...First shot at 100 yds. bullseye,will leave it there,will use it in the woods nothing over 100 yds.
