Built the frame out of 2 7/8" upset tubing, and cut out the Buffalo from a piece of 3/4" plate I had. Had a bit of trouble getting it put up, frame fell down and luckily only strained my wrist, instead of the fracture I thought I did to it. finally got it up and headed home on the tractor. took about an hour to get home, then went looking for some 45-70 ammo for my Trapdoor, but couldn't find any. Wanted to be the first to shoot it, since I built it.
Figured it would appropriate to take first shots with this combo, but ended up taking my 357 supermag Ruger #1 loaded with some BRP 363-200's at around 2200fps.
Took about 10 ft of elevation using iron sights. Got it 7 out of 15 shots , iron sights(bit windy)
Going to try and get some 45-70 loaded with the 420gr Lee GB boolit over 5744 and go smack it again:smile:
Buffalo is about 4ft high and 5&1/2 feet wide. That sucker was heavy!!!!

Edit:Sorry, forgot to put the distance. It is at 500 yds. Wrist is OK, just a strain.
