My .45-70 cartridges are 405 grains, lead flat point. my big bore rifle for that cartridge has a ladder rear sight now; I also have its little brother in .45LC. I recently purchased a Marlin 1894 in .45LC; now I have to take everything out to the range a re-sight it all in. I've pretty much gone from .357 to .45 Colt; I figger that it'll do all I want it to do. In fact, I'm pretty much set for when the buffalo herds return to the golf course out back.

We've had mulies and moose and a wolf on the golf course, black bear and grissly are now prowling in the nearby hills, and at least one moose and one mountain lion has been darted and moved by Fish and Game from in-town so far this year.
