Re: Interesting 45/70 data.
Squatch I thought this was kind of interesting from Wikipedia..............
The .45-70 cartridge is still used by the U.S. military today (2017), in the form of the "cartridge, caliber .45, line throwing, M32" blank cartridge which is used in a number of models of line throwing guns used by the Army and Coast Guard.[12] Early models of these line throwing guns were made from modified trapdoor and Sharps rifles, while later models are built on break-open single-shot rifle actions.[13]
