Interesting momento from this weekend....
I hurt my left shoulder about 2 months ago, had some acupuncture for it, but never quite came right. Seems like I needed a bit of recoil therapy, all good for the last 3 days :thumbsup:

That is because your 45/70 deals out smack you puncher.
Ammunition might be difficult I can't find any similar cartridges that could be reformed in my cartridge dimension books and dies to do so would be difficult to obtain. Still it would be worth the effort. Maybe try the cartridge collectors clubs to see what's available and maybe borrow one and have a smart fella lathe up some SPANZ style from solid brass.
450x3.5 inch is new to me.More likley 450x3.25 inch of which I have 4 loaded rounds left after the big bore shoot that are safe in my Damascus gun.
Got some info on the 450 #2 Nitro Express which I found in the book from A Square "Any Shot you Want" It states in the book that A Square now make ammo and cartridge cases for it.

Here's some info on the round and a few close neighbors.
I'm sure it will massage the shoulder a little. You wouldn't want a double discharge though.

RCBS makes the dies by special order but you’d be looking at $300USD+
