.45-70 article in October Fur Fish Game magazine
Ed Halls column, The Gun Rack, features the .45-70 this month. It covers a bit of history, hunting applications, and some reloading info. Not a lot of new information, but an interesting read for those inclined to read about their guns and cartridges.
