You are not wrong, but the biggest thing that people are missing is that the 45-70 is not your average rifle cartridge. The bullet is so heavy and slow moving that ALL of the recoil will already be in your hands BEFORE the bullet leaves the barrel. Unless you are shooting some very specialized handloads any kind of muzzle device will have very little if any effect on recoil.
If the recoil happens before the bullet leaves the barrel how can you possibly hit the target. I have brakes on everything from a 6BR to a 338 Edge, everyone reduces recoil.
