Howdy fellers!! Ol Bentflint here. Hope ya don't mind if I sit a bit and listen!!
Now I'm just now learnin about BP cartridge shootin with a Trapdoor rifle in 45-70.
I am going to ask some dumb questions, but if I'm a gonna shoot this thing I'm gonna do it right.
Dumb question 1. Do I need to use a blow tube on this rifle? It's a original 1873 in great condition!!
I done got me some cowboy action ammo and they're made with the same charge and bullet as the military specs for this rifle were.
I done been told that the carbine version of this Springfield rifle would kick the snot out of ya with a 405gr. bullet.
This rifle I am told is very accurate and fun to shoot.
I'm gonna find out if it's as much fun as my muzzleloaders and Ol Flinty, my weird old flintlock!
Thank ye all!!
