Assuming that there is an action strong enough to take it, could .45-70 be loaded to high enough velocity to reliably take down an elephant? I am thinking very large bullets, perhaps 600 or so grain, at high pressures. Is it theoretically possible in something that would likely not put the shooter in a worse situation that the elephant? Just a thought, mainly, if'n any of you are wondering the reason.
