45-70 not big enough? Try this
.
The 45-70 is a great old cartridge. However, many feel that it is not enough and try to improve the performance. So I have designed a 45-70 improved. It was designed with Wind in mind for the long range dinger work. Therefore it is only fitting to name it the 45 WindSong. The picture below shows the 45 WS on the right and a standard 45-70 on the left. How many of you want one?
It could also be called a 45-120-500.
enjoy

Wind Song
Hey JB,
Very creative, one does not usually see paper patches on jacketed pills.
Does it thump the shoulder, in a manly way

Thats not a paper patch.... Thats a diaper...... So the bullet doesn't "wet the powder" while waiting to be shot.
