I mounted one of these on a Ruger #1 in 45-70 for a buddy, 20+ years ago, we built, at his urging [still dont know why] a load featuring the 350 gr Hornady round nosed sp [later to a mag? flat point] bullet for a velocity of 2400 fps, not a typo, it's a hot load to say the least, last check the little friction adjust 1-4x20 is still chugging right along.
I think my bud is a sado-masakists? from some of the wounds I've seen on the deer and pigs he's shot with that load.
