Today my shooting at 40 yards and 100 yards was better with the 44-40 than with the .218 Bee. I’ve obviously got things to work out on the Bee, either load wise or shooting technique. It has a 3x9 Bushnell on it. The 55gr Lee is on the bottom target; the top target is the 35 gr Vmax. The 44-40 used the 200gr Lee.
The cardboard square at the top of the picture wasn’t very big at 100 yards with that K2.5 and the 3/4” square was invisible.

You must have fun swapping optics on them guns . Most every time I see them you have something new on them.
I do that a lot myself but this winter I haven’t been shooting as much as I should so have only played with a few guns lately. I have a 219 zippper to start loading for and shooting when I get time.
My wife has too many vacation trips planned for me .

I love vacations!
Yes, I’m always swapping scopes around. I’m liking that 2.5x on the 44, buts that’s what I said about the FF3 and the peep sight…….

That is a good looking rifle!
I’ve got a .256 Win and a 7-30 Waters in the project circle.
Break open single shot rifles are habit forming!

It’s going to be the extra barrel for my older m158 Topper .410 shotgun.
The .256 will make a great turkey and close range varmint gun.
It’s been too cold here to do much out in the shop- hopefully I’ll get back to it soon!

You ain’t kiddin about the cold out in my garage. I tried wearing heavy pac boots with liners and my feet are frozen in a half hour. My hands can’t take it either. Should be warming soon I hope.

The pressure limits for most of these shotgun conversions will usually be associated with a softer steel breech face and/or the larger than normal firing pin hole.
When H&R was selling rifles, the "low pressure" receivers were limited to things like 357 mag and 44 mag even though the guns had a typical rifle sized firing pin.
I would not want to push above 35,000 psi for a shotgun conversion without more knowledge on breech face material. And even 35,000 psi may have issues with primers. If primers are a problem, using the heavy cup primers (marketed for 5.56 or 7.62x51) would be worth a try.
