Look no further than the 450 BM for a great big bore AR-15. Myself and three sons all use the 450 for deer, pig and bear hunting in Arkansas. If I knew how to post pics I could show several targets...

If your wife is going to be shooting around 200 yds the 356 is the better choice. It is much flatter shooting than a 45-70 by over 2 inches in arc. Any shot closer, say around 75-100 yds will hit...

Sorry Y'all. In the post above It appears I am 70 years old, in fact I meant to say I've been shooting cast for 70 years, I a bit older than 70, but I still load and shoot almost everyday. Just...
