[ryanfpowell1]

what do you do with all those dead animals

[powerbagle]

this round must hit like a ton of bricks

[smoothieking157]

@powerbagle go look up Hickok45's "Marlin Guide Gun 45-70" video 

[DimebagCFH4Life]

Can i drop a Bigfoot with this cartridge?

[fishingman210012]

I have an 45-70 H&R Handi-Rifle Single

[XxrushxX1]

which round is more accurate the 30-30 or 45-70

[MrMosinNagant1937]

i wish i was adopted and my real dad was larry potterfield

[dirkbikeman1001]

I got one of these in a derringer. Can't wait to go shoot it!

[mebeanonymousonytube]

Larry Potterfield vs. Hickok45 I like'm both.

Midway (Larry) good video, great caliber.

[weWILLskate]

@frozenkoolaiddude OH HELL YES

[FrozenKoolAidDude]

Larry Potterfield vs. Hickok45... I, NEED, TO, SEE, IT!

[mikeb1444]

My next gun is going to be a .45-70 if I can find one I can load up to 3500ft-lb.

im looking to maybe buy a .270 winchester rifle for my sniper/long range firing rifle? anybody recomend this round or any comments? Im looking to use for longer range shooting then my other rifles, like 150yards 200 etc. I want just becuase i dont have any other scoped rifles and the 270 looks like it would go well in my collection

[dirkbikeman1001]

Why would anyone choose the 30-30 over this if this has a bigger caliber and more powder?

[Hunterman841]

why is it put beneath the 30 30. it is way more powerful

[Hunterman841]

@PLPolishPowerPL The .270 would be a great caliber for long range up to five or six hundred yards even. if you want an even more powerful long range gun though, go with a 7 mm magnum. they are like a .270 on steroids

[DEAST343Alpha]

I just feel like giving mr potterfield a cookie

[jack6565]

Mr Potterfield is without question... A boss.

[chieffy35]

even if you punched that man in the gut he'd still be smile and say 'thats the way it is'

[THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS]

I need to get me a .45-70 gatling gun like Larry said...

[a92123]

its a fun round to shoot in a BFR

[blacksrt8300c]

@a92123 Factory loads are very shootable in the BFR, but handloads even at the low end of starting loads using hornady H110 are heavy, but a lot of fun.

[460faust]

but can ya shoot it in the taurus judge???

[AmericaStandsStrong1]

@460faust NO!

[TheSouthernGentleman]

@UrNorsk1987 Is all ammo that expensive? I thought Norway was relatively gun friendly by European standards.

[froliscousness]

larry looks like he just smoked some blueberry bud

[keltingr]

too bad Larry Potterfield screwed me over on my Midway USA order and won't allow any of my comments on his websites product reviews because he wants to make himself look better to suck more people in

[SouthSurreyMilitia]

ROFL transcribe video at 0:40

[ChesapeakeArmory]

@SouthSurreyMilitia LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mchermsquatch]

I thought the '70' was the year (1870) for when the cartridge was designed and patented... I learned something new today. Lol

[luigi2999]

@Mchermsquatch no, it might be because it uses 70 grains of black powder.

[Elementlmage]

CHoF seems like a great addition to the Midway video catalog and I would love to see more cartridges in the future. (I would also like to suggest a video on 7.62x54mmR, but I don't know if you guys even check the comments)

Also, I would like to add to the discussion and say that the 45-70 is a great round that really hurts on both ends of the barrel. There are few experiences more enjoyable than than watching a 500 grain round sail down range and hit the target.

[wackyworldvideos34]

@Elementlmage perhaps they might get your suggestion in a personal message.

[DrThunder88]

There are also some revolvers that use the 45-70 as I recall. Ouch on both ends!

That's a sweet Sharps, by the way!

[JBSauce]

Well if I ever wanted to hunt bison, I'd know what round to pick.

[smelmore]

@JBSauce .22 short lol

[duemamay]

the 45/70 gov is a really big round

[gragrn]

Gotta love the 45/70. It does everything asked of it and more!

[ECTBWHO]

: )

[highoctaneman2]

That's the way it is!
