I found out you could use a breach loader with hammer and a a blACK POWDER CARTRIDGE during the primitative season in Ms. I'm really drooling over the lever guns BUT I don't think they are legal. So I was looking at the Springfield carbine (a lot less money) in 45-70. Are these good rifles and accurate enough for shooting to 150 yds ? I also saw a Sharps sporting rifle that wasn't too bad. What do you know about them ? Are the sights subitable for hunting ? When I was a Kid my great grampaw gave me his original Springfield saddle carbine, as a dumb ass kid I sold it ! for nothing 25.00 This was in the early 50's.
