>you could literally use .44 mag. .45-70 is a meme round
For starters the 45-70 is superior for suppression compared to lots of other cartridges including 44mag/444 marlin. Lower chamber pressure means lower muzzle pressure, heavier bullet options give better BC and guarantee a thru and thru, and a wider diameter meaning bigger holes to bleed out faster. That's not even getting into the wider variety of loadings for the 45-70 compared 44 magnum. Keep spouting "meme cartridge" you slack-jawed range queer.

Haven't shot a 500, but like many big bores you can load light or total wristbreakers. Muzzlebrakes work really well for high muzzle pressure rounds, I was shocked at how little a serious 460 load recoiled in my 460 S&W PC. The flash and concussion were tremendous but there was very little recoil.

Hell yeah brother, I'm getting a lone eagle someday.
