Thanks, It has a 13/16" 45 cal. 42" Colerain barrel, Chambers large Siler lock, triggers 2-3/4 lb un-set, set probably less than 6 oz, my scale won't measure that low and a Curly Maple stock.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

Young guys should hang out with old guys; old guys know stuff.
Thanks for the instruction, mazo kid, on how to get photos posted; I did exactly as you said and it worked great.
Taco650, That big doe was killed by me with the .62 smoothbore. It was a running at 20 yards. That big 330 grain ball hit like the hammer of Thor; the doe fell right in her footie prints.
