Picked up a 45-70 BC a couple of years back. Managed to find a deal on the Wesson and Harrington Peep sight that mounts on the rear scope mount on the barrel. I had tried a few times to hit the 500 yard 30" steel, but only randomly hit it because I couldn't see where I was hitting. Finally got my brother to spot for me. After about 3 shots and adjusting the sights, I finally got on steel and hit it all 3 times I fired. Even had another shooter at the range to try it and he hit it on the second shot. This is with a Lee 405 grain mold that drops at 419 grains with blue powder coat on it. I am psyched. It is such a thrill to hit it at 500 yards with irons and a 20' drop. That made my week for sure. Gotta hit the melting pot and make up some more boolits so I can shoot again soon. Blue PC is what I had at the time, I plan on using Smoke's clear from now on. The cowboy shooters would probably frown on the blue boolits.
