45-70 for deer hunting - Long Range Hunting Forum
2010年6月21日 · the 45-70 is a good deer cart., just shoot 'em where you'r 'sposed to. ANY deer shot in the wrong place will probably need "tracking" no matter what you hit it with. I prefer the 525 gr. postel, cast 20/1 for ALL 45-70 hunting, works well.
