howdy yall. I made some rounds for my grampa's 45-70 H&R. I was actually the first to shoot it. At 65 yarsd or so, it was already sighted in, how often does that happen?? I like this round alot, it doesnt kick the livingdaylight outta ya, and it's enough to drop a Buffalo. The first shot ever fired out of it was bye me, and I hit a 5 gallon propane tank about 50 yards or so away, had a exit wound size the size of a small dinner plate! was alotta fun to shoot. Any of yall ever shot one?

Kinda have, lately I've been shooting 70 grains and a 410 conical in a 50 cal. More like a 50-70, really, but what is the difference, other than one is a cartridge and the other muzzle-loaded?
I used to think I had all the cartridge guns I wanted, but that changed a couple years ago. I'd like to add a 45-70

By the way, the buffalo went that away
