I heard that you don't have to pull the trigger with a 45-70. Just point it at them and they fall over.

While hog hunting this July just north of Atoka I had a 150lb sow come out of a black berry bush and run straight toward me at 20 yards after I dropped her sister who came out of the same hole in the bush. She squeeled out and began to charge. I fired many times at her with my AR (some hits and some misses but I stood my ground) and she finally had enough pain and turned at about 15 yards from me and I put the last shot just in front of her earto put her down. That was the biggest rush I have ever had hunting. It turned out that a friend and I had strumbled into a nest of at least five or six of them. I took two that day before it was all over. BTW at the end I counted it up and I had spent over twenty rounds in that fire fight with the hogs.
And that is why I bought the .45-70: I don't need it for the easy shots, but I hunt alone from time to time, and it would be just my luck that the charge will come when there's nobody around to help me. I wanted something that would be a definitive bone-breaker.
