If we are talking about hunting, what would be pluses of each choice?
Seems to me that shotgun slugs actually have higher velocity than 45-70 slugs and similar weight...and don't cost as much. Rifled shotguns are cheaper, too. What would make 45-70 a better choice, lighter guns or sm-th else? Or is it Ford/Chevy type debate?
