traded for a Husqvarna Remington Rolling Block bbl'd in 45-70. Think it is the 1867 model, with an 1871 date on the receiver. Have to ask again who the barrel was made by. Heavy round bbl about 1-1 1/8" dia. Nice tang mounted vernier sight and globe front sight (also need to figure the make, as well as replace a screw). Bbl is 24-25" long. Nice feathered piece of light walnut stocks.
Haven't slugged the bbl and probably won't if it will shoot what I already have cast and loaded. Have the Lee 405 grn RN HB (.460) and also two Ranch Dog molds that should drop .459-.460, one a 300-310 grn and other a 35-360 grn. Haven't cast with them yet.
Totally new to this aspect of the game. Any insight is appreciated. I am already shooting the 405 HB in my Marlin 1895 w/ a very low end Trapdoor load (Waters Pet Loads/38.5 grn of IMR 3031). Going to start with that one. Maybe up the powder a tad. And load some Trapdoor pressure loads with the 350/360. If either of them shoot well, prob be done with load search and just shoot. Thanx
