Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers Hello - New Member and 45-70 Leverlution question

Well,no.1-Yep,I cast my own from lead/tin at 30:1 for most,20:1 for others. Range for a 45/70?? It is ALL in the sights. FlyboyFlem uses irons on his 444 Marlin out to 300 yards. The 45/70 is fully capable of taking big critters for farther than you would believe. "Point Blank" shooting is good for about 125 yards. IF you have good quick adjust iron sights,it is good for a LOOONNNNGGG way out if you are a good shot. My Pard Gunner 500 hits the steel pigs at 500 with no problem with his 45/70 using BLACK POWDER!! 405's are easily good for 150 with a slight adjustment. Shoot the daylights out of the gun at 100-200 yards and see how you want to place the sights..

Do you know about PM's here???
