Gordon, what weight bullets you shooting? Some of the 400-440 grain models will kick a little less than the 500's, and still shoot well. Did you ever shot this one? ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/highwall45-90_zps6f10abcd.jpg) I did and it was sweet...  ![[Linked Image]](https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7457/14184873053_50994af473_n.jpg)

I don't think this is too bad a time to bring up a mossy old BPCR homily,..."The Law of diminishing Returns"
Given bullets of equal WEIGHT,.....and of the same caliber, and driving em' with Black Powder,....at a certain point one achieves absolutely NO more velocity, and just starts inducing more violent recoil.
Inarguable and proven fact, this.
I've been amused and somewhat baffled at the insistence in mind numbing , body wrenching, abusive recoil, for a LONG time.
STAY with heavy bullets,....just back off on your charge weights a bit, ....and enjoy life.

I did get in a little rush this last time Greg. Not going to rush quite like that in the future. I bought so many of the 500 grain bullets, yes Sir I will be using them for a while. Just going to slow down between shots. I'm not in a competition but the weather was hot. So I was rushing things just to see how the rifle handled strings of shot with just the blow tube. Rifle did fine, OP started whining . Not really loading that much powder, less than I started with by 10 grains. Part of the learning process. Wish I had discovered BPCR rifles a long time ago like so many on the campfire.

Pard,IMHO the 45's seem to come into their own with bullets of 500g or better. The Old Dead Guys and Sharps Rifle Co. stated that heavy bullets and heavy charges were the recipe for long range shooting. You ain't totally skrewed yet!! Wait'll me and the boys get ya blasting paper patched slugs!!!!

I don't feel like I'll get REAL longer ranges accuracy with anything much less than a 500 +,.... my 440 grain Leeth "Chicken Bullet" starts spreading em' at ranges over 300 M.

I didn't see it mentioned and you probably are using filler, but there can be no air space when shooting black, or it will cause dangerous pressure spikes.
Profanity is a poor substitute for a proper education.

That's a pic for the ages reminds me of a similar event with a 44/90 in an Iowa bean field! Your new shades were never meant to see Wyoming now were they? OTOH they were sacrificed for some serious laughter.
