Happy new year all.
4 years ago now, I inherited one beautiful modern Win/Miroku 1885 single shot. It has a round, 28 inch barrel.
I also have a nice little pile of Starline 45-90 brass.
Bullets on hand are Hornady 325gr FTX, Hornady 300gr HP and Hornady 350 Grain RN. I have many of the popular fast burning powders like R7, AA2015, IMR 4198 and H335 etc.
I have no idea where to safely start, and work my way up. HELP!!!
In a perfect world i would like to work up to respectable velocities. A bit higher than the 45-70, with good case fill.
Too much higher and it will have too much recoil.
Long time reloader with a Lab Radar. I shoot 45-70 quite a bit. I can't wait to use this rifle. It is so beautiful!
I have a Teslong bore scope. The inside of the barrel is perfect.
My dad never spoke of this one.
He passed away very fast. I believe he had just purchased the rifle new. Not long before.
