Its one of the best deer cartriges out there.. possibly THE best
You GOTTA tell us where this happened. PLEEEASE?...i asked a salesman at a local gun shop about buying a 45-70 as my first hunting rifle he asked what i'd use it for with a smirk and i replied deer and hog since thats what we have in south texas and he nearly came over the counter saying in so many words you cant use that because it was a rimmed cartridge.
