I tested out a .45 ACP adapter in my over/under shotgun yesterday to see if the POA and POI matched and with a 250gr Speer bullet over 6.5grains of Unique it did. Having seen that it convinced me that it's worth the $100 to get the .45-70 adapter because I'll be able to play with the large amount of bullet weights to find a load that works with my POA.
Now that I've got that figured out I'm wondering is there any reason to get tooled up to load .45-70 if it's not going to be used for hunting? The main reason I want to get into it is I'm enamored with .45-70 cuz it's old and if I bought two adapters I could effectively have a .45-70 double rifle that cost me under $750.
