Dunno about those in particular but I do know that alot of big boar hunters around here choose the 45-70 using 405gr lead instead. A Marlin in 45 colt hand loaded with 300grain solid lead moving at a good click (IE Ruger/Marlin preassures) works well too. For a little closer on a critter under 500lbs a 12 guage with lead slugs works pretty well, and for the 300lb and unders a good 30-30 works well with 170gr corelokts.

Just a thought, sorry but I haven't shot either of the others.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
