My brother just decided to go and buy a 45/70 yesterday, so I grabed mine and a few boxes of shells, off to the gravel pit we went. We had some 325gr and 350gr factory loads and some of my 400gr handloads. Mine is the "Magna Ported" version, and his is not, so it was interesting to see/feel the differences.

I threw this togeather last night, the last shot is pretty cool, you can see the muzzle blast blowing out the bbl ports.
