Sighted in my new 45-70

[dave hall]

I sighted it in with Hornady's new Lever Evolution rounds.I wanted about an 8" drop at 200.I sighted it in at 25 (0.04)to start with.It the same 0 at 125 yds.These rounds were dead on every where I held them.It was -8.5 (-8.19)at 200 I couldn't ask for more .I may not take one at 200,but it's there if I need it. This Handi is pretty impressive  .I think I'll keep it.After playing around with 15 rounds my arm sure is feeling it. Happy Hunting Guys,Dave.

           These (0.00) numbers are where the ballistic calculation's are on my sheet.
2050--325 grs--ball.coef.0.220--0 at 125.

Thanks Joel,
 I've been in this club for a few years I've had a Ruger 350 Rem., 4 45-70's, 2 444's and 1 450. Only once a year I put my arm thru this.Most of the time I never shoot off the bench.Mostly off hand when I'm playing around on paper during the year.Dave.
