If you really want to experience some heavy 45-70 recoil. Try a Ruger Number 3, in 45-70, with some really hot 500 gr. solids. You will think the 45-70 lever gun seems like a 223. In guns like the Ruger Number 1 and Number 3, you can load a 45-70 up pretty hot, to the point, it's close ballistically to a 458 Win. Mag.[/QUOTE]
I have a #3 and shooting 300gr speers at 2400fps after about 10 or so it gets s bit uncomfortable. That little lever will also break you dang fingers if you don’t grab it firm!
