You got yourself a muzzle-loading version of the Great 45.70 Black Powder Cartridge Rifle(BPCR) 8)

That baby will only shoot Long Heavy conical bullets in the 400-600 grain range, with 70 grains of the powder of your choice! 8)

You may be able to shoot some 40cal sabot rounds, but I doubt it will out shine the 45.70 loads above.:-\

That baby is the Buffalo killer from way back :) ;)
