How big a boy are you?

Shot a 45-70 once, killed a doe. Hope to never shoot that gun again and I'm not a recoil sensitive person.

I'd rather a 35 whelen.

Quite average. Under 200 lbs.

But I do some handloading and would like to do a bit of light load shooting with cast bullets.

Only when I wanted to kill something big would I load up with full power cartridges

Feh. 45-70 is tame no matter what. Now .500 Nitro Express in an Encore? That'll wake you up.
