Watch: Springfield Trapdoor in 45-70

Hickok45 has finally made a video about the Springfield Trapdoor rifle chambered in 45-70.

It says a lot for the 45-70 that it is still being shot today. The cartridge was designed in 1873, and is still being commercially produced today.

Towards the end of 2015, some of my buddies and I were at a shooting range between Bridge City and Vidor, Texas. While we were at the range, there was a guy a couple of tables down who was shooting a Springfield Trapdoor in 45-70. He saw us admiring his rifle from a distance, so he called us over. After talking for a few minutes, he offered to let each of us shoot his rifle. I was the first one to take up his offer.
