[@jasonstinson1767]

Great to see such a classic round optimized with 150 years of technology and knowledge. Did your interest it the caliber/cartridge begin with 45-70? I myself had a Marlin 45-70 I have since traded on a Taylors Quiqley Sharps in 45-70.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Yes we have lots of 45-70 history and videos, Cheers

[@Winkler_B_Rudolf_1911]

The .45-120 Sharps should be the same as the .450 Black Powder Express 3 1/4", and the .450 Nitro Express 3 1/4" it's amazing to see very old cartridge designs perform that well.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Yep, same same, lol, Cheers Man

[@davidhandyman7571]

Ah! you've done it again.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Yep, Cheers Dave

[@user-nb8up4sw5r]

How much does elevation factor into these ELR shots?. Coming from eastern South Dakota pretty flat here. Both of you are outstanding! Thanks for sharing. Love watching your videos.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Makes no difference in the ballistics of the shot v distance, little trickier because of the extra winds, Cheers

[@mikethefarrier]

Awesome. I routinely take my 50-110 to 1200 yards

[@markandsamafterwork]

Awesome, thanks Mike, Cheers

[@mikethefarrier]

@@markandsamafterwork I have a siamese mauser converted to 45-70 (douglas barrel), it is ridiculously accurate. I have worked up loads for it that are close to 458 win mag but the recoil is BAD

[@bigb0r3]

I would have guessed a faster twist would be required but it got the job done.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Is 1in10, so all good, Cheers

[@william6815]

Hi mark and Sam, fantastic video as always was just wondering what spotting scopes you guys use.

[@jackamelung8705]

I like the 45-120 and was always curious about the high BC cutting edge bullets. I shoot .45-90 using loads for .458 win mag. I have not tried a high BC bullet from cutting edge because I did not believe I would have enough powder space and would never get velocities high enough to stabilize even with a 1-12 twist. On the 570 grain bullet what was your case percentage fill for the .45-120? No need for loading info just curious, you tube gets crazy if you publish anything out of their agenda. Awesome video Thank you

[@markandsamafterwork]

Not sure on percentage, but running compressed with out over pressure, Cheers

Hi guys, any chance you'd be intereeted in doing 12g slug ELR (200m or something). Thought that might be cool.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Already done, ruclips.net/video/ZYHvC9TtutU/видео.html

[@randomidiot8142]

The itch to want to shoot further is so very tempting but I think until I can make consistent consecutive hits at 1k with my 7.62x39 I won't try anything "better". That would make it too easy. It's surprisingly capable of getting to ~800 if I pay attention.
Have you found anything that cannot and will not work 😅.

[@stevennewman4778]

I put a Ruger American x39 in an Oryx chassis. Because of our rolling hills here in western part of Kentucky, I’m limited on range past 1200 yards. So I’ve been using the x39 to see how far I can stretch it. With handloads I’m hitting consistently at 700 yards on a 12” plate.
