I have 3 2-1s and a lyman cent. that I put 3 shots into .625'' at 100 yards with the 4x tube scope that came on it.
I have a #1 in 45-70, it's one of my favorite rifles and was a favorite of the gent I purchased it from too. Shoots like a dream with a 300gr cast and 19.5 Unique.
I have a #3, does that count? LOL
Kills on the front, cripples on the rear.

well gentleman the reason why i asked is becuase i was wondering how these do for a long range verse a short range rifle. im looking for something that i can shot with long range. from what you guys say these are pretty good shooters.
I use cast boolits in mine exclusively now that I have got the barrel right. It is a ball to shoot with 400 to 500 grain projectiles. You are going to love a #1 in 45/70. You will need boolts around .462" for best accuracy. I beagled my molds early but now use .462" molds from CBE.

I bought a #1 in 45-70 some years back. Was shooting at 200 with a buddy heavy into BPCR. Cleaned my clock. But had a darn good time. Still wish ruger had went with a longer length bbl on it. Still looks like a carbine to me. They got it right when they designed the cenntennial model. Frank
I started with 45/70 and went to a 45/120 3.25" case
Hold Still Varmint; while I plugs Yer!
I enjoy my #1 x 45-70 very much. It is in my top 4 favorites with castings.
I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
ok guys anyone out there also shoot anything over yet say 400 yards with this or is that asking to much of the gun. i have a leopold 3x9 that i can use for glass. im just looking to see what im getting into is all. i have read alot about them but never got and real info i was looking for. like are these hard to dail in with the right bullet and also ahs anyone found a bullet that works for all things that they wanted out of it. ei.. hunting, paper punching any multi use bullets. and also is the brass hard to get for this gun. i want a single shot one day and this one is in the lead. and again thanks for all your inputs
The real question you have to ask yourself: Do I really want to send that much lead down range? Shoulder wise as well as inventory wise? If so, how often will I do it? ... felix

I've got one. It'll shoot anything I give it very accurately.
The 45-70 is a premier long-range caliber, but goes about its business in a very different way than a flat-shooting varmint rig. You might consult some experienced BPCR shooters, who use this caliber (and other old-time chamberings) to go well past 600 yards. This often involves heavy-for-caliber boolits and sub-sonic velocities, substantial recoil in a 7.5# rifle, and basketball trajectories--but the radial dispersion is still small.
My #1 seems to do its best work with the 400 grain-class boolits at 1000-1400 FPS velocities. Those kinds of loads can be fired all day in the #1--recoil is noticeable, but not uncomfortable. Cases are easy to find.
My #1 has what is known as a "Government Ballseat", which consists of a VERY abrupt rifling leade and very short throat. Any boolit over 400-425 grains needs a bore-rider portion, or too much powder capacity gets eaten up by boolit shank.

ok let me fish more info from you all. does anyone know teh twist rate on a newer 45/70. as i stated before im looking for as much info as i can get
Ruger 1-S is 1:20 Right Hand twist. The 4570 is a well proven long range performer. You must be familiar with judging distance and adjust accordingly, but it is tough to beat for a versatile caliber.Originally Posted by jballs918
