It depends

I have a Marlin 444 and an 1895 in .45/70. Both are fun to shoot and quite accurate. The .444 handles lighter bullets and generates a bit less recoil with jacketed bullets or cast bullets. The .45/70 with heavy bullets in moderate reloads is much like shooting a high brass 12 gauge. That's why I use lighter loads or cast bullets. All the best...
