H&H,
I understand what your saying apples to apples.
But sometimes things arnt always the same. Look at the debates about the 270 and the 30-06 they normally go to the "highest" senable weight and then compare there. So there is quite a big of weight difference. Why they do that I dont know but they do.
Anyways not trying to start a argument. Personally the 45-70 isnt a bullet I ever used and probrobly will never use. I am gonna stick to the 30-06 as it can deal with anything on this side of the world. If it was really Dangours game then I will go out and get myself a 375 Remington Ultra Mag
That has enough energy to take pretty much anything doesnt it ?? Its been a while since I have seen any data but I think it has like 5,000 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle with Remington Factory loads
