I also am a fan of the 45-70 round. I shoot all 4 of my rifles. I started out with blackpowder cartridge loads in the Springfield carbine and the infantry rifle and liked it so much that I had 2 Remington Rollingblocks made for the caliber. I wanted a Creedmore style rifle and had one made up using a rollingblock action and a 32" heavy barrel with tangsight. It hits consistantly at 300 meters using the 500gr bullet BP load. The other one is a lighter version with a 26" barrel. No photos at this time, still recovering from the fire and my good computer is not back from the shop. A great caliber and loads of fun to shoot. One of the guns (short barrel)was madeup by a gunsmith in Anchorage about 1996.
