Trying to decide between the 308 vs 45-70 Govt cartridges?
The 45-70 vs 308 Winchester debate is a great example of how a person who doesn’t know any better can get a wildly distorted view of how two cartridges compare to each other by simply looking at their kinetic energy numbers on paper.
While they may look very similar at first glance in certain performance categories, the 308 Winchester and the 45-70 Government are two completely different rounds ideally suited for very different hunting situations.
I have both, have hunted extensively with both, and really like each one, but I like them for different reasons and for different tasks. So, in this episode, I compare the 45-70 vs 308 Winchester in detail so you can decide which one works best for your individual needs.
