Yep, the 45-70 will kill it if you can hit it.
Here are some numbers for your 45-70, 300gr bullet at 1330 muzzle velocity.
Sighted in at 100yds
2.2 inches high at 50yds
0.0 at 100yds
9" Low at 150yds
26" Low at 200yds
51.5" Low at 250yds
86" Low at 300yds
131" Low at 350yds
187" Low at 400yds Only 418 FtLbs energy
45-70 and 400yds is well over a second in travel time! (.4sec for 7mmRemMag)
86" is more than 7 feet at just 300yds!
187" is more than 15 feet at 400yds!
Maybe thats why they shot at Buffalo HERDS! and then just picked up what was dead!
I killed a whitetail with a 6000lb Dodge pickup going only 88ft/sec (but the range was zero!)
