Hi guys - new here, one of my favourite bloggers said you run a fine saloon here and I have to agree!
I am about to make my mistake and would appreciate you help in doing so - I am looking at the 1885 Highwall in 45-70 (30" barrel, octagonal barrel, Uberti) for my first gun (I have done the modern cartridges with the Ruger No. 1 and love them).
I have heard two stories about using fillers in the 45-70. Some guys say they are completely safe, others say you are going to blow yourself up and leave nothing but a string of meat with some organs attatched to it in a smoking crater!
What are you old school single shot guys using?
