Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers So how did I do?

I was wrong. It is actually a 1972 model and it is one of the first few thousand made and has Ballard rifling instead of microgroove. I shot it yesterday and it was the first time I had ever really shot a 45-70 except for a few cowboy loads in an old trapdoor. I had some of the Hornady Leverevolutions. Recoil was stout but not unpleasant. Actually is was a lot of fun to shoot.

It was fun to see the effect of those big bullets. I had an old computer tower that I just demolished. Once at about 60 yards I actually knocked it over. When you consider that it probably weighs twenty pounds, that was pretty impressive.
