I'm looking to get a 45-70 lever action and knowing there is a length difference between .458 Win Mag and 45-70 in the .458 bullet.
I was wandering if anyone used/reloaded the shorter 45-70 bullets in their .458 Win Mag and/or .458 Lott rifles?
What would be or are the benefits for using shorter bullets in a WM or Lott?
1) accuracy
2) pressure
3) reduction or increase powder charge required?
4) penetration on DG: hippo, buff,
