I know y'alls view on the 45-70 as a buffalo gun (puny American cartridge), but what would your bullet choices be if you were to take one into battle with a Buff?

Would the 405 Hard Cast Solids do the deed or would you opt for the Barnes TSX?

Looking at both bullets from DoubleTap and curious on y'alls expert opinions. I'm just a bullet slinger from the hills of Tennessee.
