45-70 vs Trophy Axis Deer!!!

[@randyadams03]

Bday's only, more wisdom. Not just older. I called 45-70. Lol thanks for listening and using. Alot of hours in this trip for followers. Hunt, ammo and Steal. Thanks "Youngin"

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Hey Randy! Was a loooooong trip. One day I sat in that blind from 9am to dark

[@andrewfossatti4937]

[@melward5728]

Don't forget to show the entrance wound and exit wound...it helps.

[@garrettforchrist2700]

I'm so glad you got your deer with the 45-70! Maybe it's because you asked for prayer!

[@buskman3286]

I'm a long-time user of the 45-70, including 8 years in Alaska. With a 405 gr jacketed soft point it will drop a bear/moose with no trouble at all. I have never used any of the lighter bullets or lever revolution type bullets. IMO, it was the bullet that essentially turned the 45-70 into a rather poor stopper in this case. Next time you go deer hunting with the 45-70 try the rifle using ammo with the good 'ol 405 gr bullet. Of course, a better lever gun for deer is one chambered in 30 WCF! ;)

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Thanks Slick

[@MrTacklebury]

Yes, they are FTX. Not my favorite, but being a reloader, I like the 350 gr. RNFP Hornady. The FTX doesn't like bone shots and you hit the shoulder.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Thanks Scott

[@jamesfarmer63]

I prefere 430gr

[@theowenssailingdiary5239]

Yes but he still got a complete pass through. If the round doesn't like shoulder then I'm guessing you mean it fragments on shoulder? I'm guessing sometimes the 4570 is simply going too slow to expand properly, especially on light bodied game. But, it did provide enough 'shock' to the CNS so much as it knocked the deer out for a bit. Maybe it did more damage than we think and the deer just bled out into his chest cavity. Judging by the exit, that bullet held together, which people seem to like. I'd prefer a bullet that really fragments easily if I was shooting 4570 to utilize it's energy.

[@josiahloftis4329]

Wooo!! Love that .45-70. I have the Marlin GBL myself. Took a deer in Iowa with the Hornady FTXs in 325 grain. Heart shot at 110 yards. Dumping blood like crazy. Went maybe 10 yards. Was suprised myself at how far that axis went.

Great shot! Solid placement. I took my deer this last year with my 1895 in 45 70. I used some 430 +p bear loads. Deer didn't make it 10 feet. Exit wound was pretty decent.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Gotta love 4570!

[@2punish1]

45-70 ain't no joke. You put the smack down on that deer.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

4570 is a big round

[@boofyboofy9359]

Enjoyed your 45-70 hunt...excellent. I believe when you originally sited it in, you used the 250 grain monoflex lead free Hornady....not the 325 ftx. This particular load, which I use here in California exclusively, acts differently from the FTX which can shatter on bone. This load will be more of a penetrator.....great for large heavy beasts like elk etc. I'm disappointed that you somehow snaked that round away from lung and probably more in the shoulder....that's why it crawled away like it did with energy. You should have looked at the chest cavity wound when they took the meat down for the butcher. Anyways......wonderful programs you do.....I think a lot of us love 45-70....and would like to see more with differing ammo.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Gotta love the 4570. Appreciate you watching

45-70 is a favorite. Really packs a punch and is a hoot to shoot. Great Coyote round too. LOL

[@ringokidd387]

[@WHOTEEWHO]

[@notsosilentmajority1]

Great shot!! It was surprising that he made it that far and that the bullet went all the way through without leaving much of a blood trail. Looks like the 45-70 "jinx" is over. Ahhh, just got to the part of the video where you mention that you used the red tipped rounds and not the hollow points, that seems to explain why the round went through and possibly why the deer went that far. With that nice shot you made, those hollow points probably would have dropped him where he stood. Hopefully, next time you'll do your sighting in with hollow points for a hunting trip and we'll get to see just what they are capable of on the game. Congratulations !!!! It's always great to see other people with the same enthusiasm, no matter what age we get to be. Great job brother. God bless.

[@micahmartino1956]

Congrats on the beautiful deer. That’s what it’s all about. Getting out there to see the wildlife and then taking your time and putting one on the table. Good hunt. God bless America.

[@goinrich25]

I think the scoped vs non-scoped argument is insane. It should really depend on what the rifle is used for. For example: if I’m out hunting with my .45-70, I want a scope all day long. If I’m carrying it in brown bear/grizz country as an “oh sh*t” bear gun, I want iron sights. In my experience, it’s much easier to quickly acquire a close up target (say, inside 20 yards) with iron sights than with a scope. At hunting ranges, though, a scope should be a no-brainer. It really all comes down to personal preference and, more importantly, PRACTICE. Gotta practice with whatever setup you’ve got to become proficient and be able to shoot accurately under pressure, whether it be buck fever or fighting off a bear. Personally, for the .45-70 lever guns in particular, I’m a firm believer in having a scope on a pic rail with backup iron sights, so that you can switch back and forth as needed. Just my two cents, though.

[@NC-xk1eg]

Well said. 👍

[@hondarider2067]

Congratulations, I do prefer a cartridge that has a better bullet design. The Leverevolution should perform better I would think. Bet on an Elk that would be awesome. The 45-70 does the job just not sure of the performance of the winchester HP. Makes me wonder if the bullet expands well. Can you do a gel test with the range you shot at?

[@Joshb4570]

Yes how did that deer get up? Would be interesting to know if a 405g would have broken the shoulder. Did we recover the bullet? The Leverevolution has a shorter shell too. More difficult to reload.

[@iammee1111]

@@Joshb4570 Bad shot in no man's land. Don't blame the bullet.

[@Joshb4570]

@@iammee1111 I've reloaded the Leverevolution with some powder coated 350 grain hard cast projectiles. 45 grains of AR2207 should get around 2000FPS out of them!

I think it's really great you picked up a great sponsor in Sportsman Guide. They're a great company. Are you still associated with Heavy Metal? Makes it easier to quit your job. I used to have the 'see trough' scope mounts on my Marlin 336 in .35 Remington. However, I recently changed the mounts to Talley Mounts, medium height, and my oh my is it sighted in. Don't let anyone tell you a lever rifle is not accurate. I love the Marlin's and hope Ruger does right by the tradition, history and great Marlin name.

NICE!!! CONGRATS! 45-70 has been smoking deer, elk, moose and bison for 150 years. Great round. Kinda looks like that Hornady failed to expand, should've make a massive exit wound. Nice job, thanks for giving us "buck fever" that we can't scratch for 6 more months.

I hunt in some real thick brush and bought a new blued steel Henry 45-70 last year for deer, or the occasional bear. I haven’t shot one yet with it, but I am going to try this year. That’s a nice looking scope mount/scope combo. What is that setup? I’m glad to see more guys using a 45-70. Such a great round with awesome history. Some people say it is too much for deer. But if you’re using the lighter loads it really isn’t.

A lighter calibre and that deer would still be running. Glad you found it. Looks like a hunting holiday for someone with money but little time to spare. Nice buck all the same.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

A lot of people don't like the faster cartridges because it destroys meat, but if you hit a deer in the vitals, the shock will just about liquify the organs. Destroys lungs and heart. The 45-70 might be better for bigger body animals like bear, elk, moose etc. The 45-70 bullet didn't look like it expanded a lot. A Speer Gold dot is a great bullet for midsize game at closer range. It really expands well. Exis is great meat. Congrats on a great deer.

[@charlesbrakeville5825]

I used to get things from Sportsman's Guide regularly when the mailed out their sales papers.

Yes it was a FTX. I personally find the FTX rounds come apart to easy in game. I still live the 45-70. Now granted, I load my own ammo. Great video. I was disappointed in that kill. Seems like the FTX did not carry the energy in that one.

[@alexmunn5321]

That was great man . I was also suprised he went so far , but that could happen with your 300.. I got to say I love the winchester silver tip better then any ammo for the 45/70 , if you can ever find it give it a go. Great hunt man Wish I could make a trip there myself. Cheers! Enjoy the steak .

Thank you for sending this video. I shot a axis buck 3 years ago in Junction TX with a Remington 30.06 220gr corlock ballistic and tell myself I know I hit him at 90 yards. No blood trail, I never saw him fall to the ground like yours did. NEVER FOUND HIM!!!:( I been looking at a lot of 45-70 ballistic and think I am going to go with a 305gr or 325gr Underwood 45-70. I will be using a new Henry Single Shot rifle . This video was extremely helpful and entertaining. Thank you thank you thank you from Texas.

They can be tough animals

[@lkandel1696]

Those are Hornady's LEVERevolution loads, they are all I'll hunt with in my 30-30 out here in MT. Best thing available to extend yer range and drop bigger animals. As others have said it looks like ya zeroed with a lighter grain load then used a heavier one to hunt with against a smaller critter than they're designed for. That fact it only went maybe 100yds ain't bad considering you used basically solid shot on it. Good hunt y'all had.

I hunted deer for two seasons using a .460 S&W Magnum T/C Encore. I used the 200 grain Hornady FTX rounds for Deer Hunting. While my shots never exceeded over 100 yards. Every deer shot ran with no exit hole or blood trail. I did recover the deer. I found pieces of bullet fragments. I wouldn’t recommend using those loads on big game. I believe the Leverevolution line uses this same bullet. I have heard hunters complain about the poor results using them from the traditional round nosed soft point ammunition.
