45-70 barrel on Huntsman receiver?
« on: November 30, 2010, 02:56:20 PM »
Do you think it is safe to fire a 45-70 barrel on a Huntsman muzzleloader receiver with 405 gr. factory (Rem) loads ? The Huntsman is serial numbered NT 304749. Thanks.

Trapdoor loads should be fine, the model 155 Shikari 45-70 and 44mag came on a cast iron frame, I'd like to think the cast iron SB1 frame is as good if not better than the old H&R frames.
