Question: is a 45-70 bigger than a 30-06?
Answer: With heavy bullets and proper loading, you can make 45–70 A LOT more powerful than the 30–06, within 200 yards. The 30–06 is the minimum cartridge on a grizzly hunt, while 45–70 is the preferred cartridge for the Alaskan guides. 45–70 is more powerful within 200 yards even than the mighty . 300 Winchester Magnum.
