Mmmmmmmmmmm.Ruger #1 in 45/70.Heap good gun Kemo Sabe.Takes a lickin and keeps on tickin.
50 gr. of Rel7 is quite stout.My plinking load is 40 gr. and a 300 Gr. bullet.I have been loading Remington JHP for several years but recently purchased 500 of the Meister brand in a cast round nose flat tip.They do well and just look good.There's just something about the look of a loaded cast bullet in a 45/70 that appeals to me.
So far I have found that a single shot in 45/70 is the mostest fun.My favorite is the lowly NEF Handi rifle topped with a El Paso Weaver scope of 2.5X with fine cross hairs.

The more I listen,the more I hear....and vice versa.

45/70,it's almost a religion.

If you have to take a second shot then you probably shouldn't have taken the first shot.
