303 or 45-70?

[Flbt]

So many options in 45-70 factory ammo from 300 to 410 grains. It can be a light shooter or a thumper depending on what you shoot.

Before I hurt my shoulder so bad I used it a lot but have not since the doc wanted to cut the bone and replace it from the joint to the elbow.
I have been shooting light recoil calibers.
Witch sucks because I have all ways like the bigger guns

@Flbt
I feel your pain mate
When I had my shoulder surgery they had to cut 15mm off the collar bone so they could lift FTE shoulder back into the correct position. Ended up with a frozen shoulder as well. But hey shit happens cope with it
Couldn't shoot at all for almost a year and and it annoyed the hell out of me.
I can now handle my Whelen and the 425 that @Badboymelvin owns without issue.
Still have pain but drugs help.

I have to say .303. I imagine you shoot the Enfield more, and good .303 surplus is drying up very quickly. If it were me, I would get set up for that first.

I have put more pounds of meat in the freezer with a Browning B-78 .45/70 than anything else but, I'm thinking that the Courtney will be more friendly as a .303 especially since you don't reload.
