Video showing the two guns side by side and the pro's & con's of each
Either gun has it's function both would take big game at 100 yard range
they may reach out farther check your bullet/ load chart the 454 was very accurate at 100 yards on target for me recoil was there like a 12g mag or 300 win mag
both would drop Boar, Deer, Bear, Elk, Moose, Big Bear with a good bullet placement
the 45-70 excels with heavy solid loads for big bears & Moose check out Buffalo Bore Brand loads they seem to be the Boss of heavy metal
Both would make a great guide gun in the brush & carry a matching hand cannon chambered in the same round BFR makes a 45-70 cannon and a 454 too! Bye and good hunting!
