The American Sharps Shooters, 2015-3

[Mike]

Tom, Let me try to answer you; first, nothing is ever equal or the same between a .45/70 and a .50/70. The rifles won't weigh the same unless it is a strange coincidence. The bullets won't weigh the same because the .45/70 shoots bullets either lighter or heavier than the 435 ti 450 grain weight of the .50/70. And, actually a bigger difference, the .50/70 operates at a lower pressure than the ..45/70 simply because of the larger bore. Most of those things contribute to making the .50/70 just a bit more comfortable to shoot and that's one reason why I like it so much. Shoot sharp, Mike
