A .30-30 will do the same as a .45-70 with greater versatility without handloading. People forget what a great killer the .30-30 is with the 170 gr. bullets. Much better sectional density and penitration. With the new soft plastic tip bullets they offer much better trajectory too. Plenty of loads available and commonly available everywhere in NA.

The .30-30 eclipsed all former lever action rifle rounds until the Win. 1895 .30-'06 came out. Every species of game in NA from Polar Bear to Pronghorns were routinely taken easily with the .30-30.
