Sounds like a 45-70 punched out to 45-120 Sharps 3¼" would be perfect for ya, you won't get more shock and awe with those big cigar-like rounds whether loaded to the hilt with smokeless or with BP equivalent 45-70 loads. :tango_face_wink:

Here's just one of the many 45-120 discussions in the H&R forum with chrono data, Tyler has also pushed 720gr Ranger Ricks over 1900fps in his 45-120, lots of 45-120 BC owners there, Tyler, Jeepman1948, Bikerbeans and others have pushed the 45-120 way beyond 458WM velocities at well under magnum pressures, just type 45-120 in the H&R rifle forum Search this forum box for more 45-120 discussions. A case full of Trail Boss would be lots of fun tho and you still have than big round to plunk into the chamber without the big recoil to deal with.
