Not a 45-70 but a Rossi 38/357 20" Model 92. Got it a couple months ago and shot 38 and 357 and was not really impressed. Somewhere down the line I bought some 180 grn lead SWC and loaded them with 8.3 grns of Blue Dot. I was hitting a bowling pin 4 out 5 times @ 110 years. The time I missed the crown of the pin was facing me.
Would like to get another 250 to 500 180 gn coated SWC bullets
.
Next time out, the Rossi 92 16" 44/44mag and the 30-30. Holding off on bringing out the big guns
You shoot very well for someone of 110 years.
I am thinking that if I shoot for 110 years, I will not be around to see if I hit or not, maybe could ask the grandkids, grandkids. lol
I probably don't have enough powder, lead,or primers to shoot for 110 yrs . Gotta go scrounge up some more, anyone else gonna do this for 110 years??? LOL
swmbo is looking over shoulder says if I buy one more gun I'm not going to make it to dawn.
