Just thought I'd share with you fine people my latest firearm.
Only picked it up yesterday.
It's a new Pedersoli Springfield Trapdoor Officers Model in 45-70.
Its a thing of beauty.
Will be getting a mold for it soon but in the mean time I've been using 300gn .458 hard cast projectiles that I can buy locally. And 30 grains of AR2207 (not sure of the US equivalent but it's made by ADI which I think is rebadged as Hogden powder) smokeless powder.
I'll be using Wano 2p once I've used up the hard cast and have a mold.
Currently in the process of reading a very interesting book I've recently bought by JS & Pat Wolf "loading cartridges for the original Springfield rifle and carbine".
The target below was at approximately 50 metres.
