Unless you are shooting hand loads. The .45/70 by definition is not considered a High Power Rifle. Yes it kicks like an Army mule, but the muzzle velocity is less than 2000 feet per second, the arbitrary line drawn in the ballistics table.

Well, considering there are rifles in .22 long rifle, many pistol calibers and some obsolete calibers like .45/70 that aren't really High Power yes, there are low power rifles. At least they didn't use the dreaded "A word"! :tiphat:
