Hi All,
Has anybody done this conversion on the standard Handi 45 70 barrel (22")? It seems the conversions I have seen are done on the BC 32" barrel. Does the shorter barrel defeat the purpose of the larger case when using BP or in my case BH209? I shoot up to 120 grains (volume not weight) of this blackpowder substitute in a 23" barrel MZ with very accurate results. Western powder has published data for BH209 in the 45 120 but they don't indicate the gun or barrel length.
thanks

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?
