Bruce,
My double rifle is in 45/70 and as the velocity of that shell is about the same as a standard shot shell load I already know how to swing on a running animal to hit it. I would think that the General would choose the 45/70 for that reason as well as the Government was supplying the ammo! Alas, I do not know.
Ever been to the "Bucking Horse Sale" in Miles City? Oh, don't ever drink too much and talk about that sale in mixxed company.
