Sorry.
I have the chance to pick up a Marlin 1895 GBL - one of the new ones. It's chambered in 45-70 Govt. I have no reasonable use for a 45-70, mainly because I'm not a hunter. I love target shooting, which is my primary reason for reloading. I know the trajectory for 45-70 is rather like a softball thrown by my wife - not the flattest thing in the world...
Is there any good reason to own/shoot/reload 45-70? Other than purely historical curiosity?
