Okay. To my way of understanding, a .30-30 was named that because it was a .30 caliber bullet loaded with the equivilant of 30 grains of black powder.
Likewise, a .45-70 was a .45 caliber loaded with the equivilant of 70 grains of blackpowder.
So...fast forwarding 115 years, if I take a .45 Knight In-Line muzzle loader, and throw 3 50 grain Pyrodex pellets in it, is that now twice the rifle that a .45-70 is?
Just one of thos random thoughts that sometimes spills out.
