I was wondering this lately. I have no real use for either, but I have a .357 and 30-30 levergun and was looking at the 45 to round out the collection.
I got to talking with a friend about various wild and silly justifications for a long arm such as putting down big game, harder hitting rounds and all that jazz.
Basically I'm wondering what the 45-70 does that a 12g slug doesn't, and vice versa.
