Yes! It's a shooter! He's loading some stuff for it of an evening. Went to the range yesterday and it was impressive. I suppose for that chunk of change it ought to draw you a beer too! LOL!
I think he's pretty much settled on galena pills of the heavy weight and black rifle powder only!
I had some of them Ultramax cowboy loads and he shot them too! Gave him some more brass to stuff!!! He's having fun, to say the least!

Well great. Glad it's a shooter. Took me a while just to get things I needed. Still need a case trimmer that will fit the 45-70 brass. Mine is BP only also, just the way I want it.
Did take a while to gather. You have connections or had most on hand it seems. My Cowboy 45/70's I'll save for my Marlin.
Wonderful for you and the oldest son.

Headed up to the bud's ranch tomorrow so son can try out some of his recently stuffed BP loads. My old bud is a shooter of such rifles so they can exchange much Intel. (He has been known To lurk this sight too!).
I think I'm along for either comic relief, adult supervision( yeah right) or morbid curiosity. Dunno yet.

Keep that case trimmer away from your 45-70 brass. Unless, of course, you want to screw it up.

Today's talk was about old time and old (new) rifles! Lots of memories! A few of the conversation pieces. ![[Linked Image]](http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r174/lt13demi/Mobile%20Uploads/image_135.jpg)
