45/70 brutus !!!!!
« on: March 03, 2007, 02:24:51 AM »
gotthe 16in 45/70 out yesterday, finallya decent day, had to work in the area of a local range so i took  it with me, stopped off for a few rounds in it took a hand full of 300 gr 350 gr and 405 gr lead all loaded with red dot, not bad at all they all shot well out of it i didnt use a target i just used an old fire extingusher cylinder out 50 yds,didnt have the time  plus those winds we had friday were 20 -30  MPH and then gusting ahhaha so not the most perfect  conditions to shoot but  i was ringin it  every shot, has the recoil of a hopped up 3030 id say with the light target loads, then i pulled out a deer killer  full house 300 gr JHP  figured id need a couple to clean out the lead  hahaha whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa baby now thats a  kaboom, id put it in the 12ga slug classification they let yu know they went off but still hit the steel both times  so i think its a keeper , aint no bench rest gun but hey bench rest shooting can be boring,  ::) makes a heck of a squirrel rifle though ahahah :o ;D :o ;D

Fun gun I'll bet. Wish we could play with such nice toys. But is it a pistol or a rifle. In Canada it would be a pistol and restricted. Now for some moaning ::)

We have many gun laws that ensure that no one does anything wrong. ;D ;D ;D ;D All guns are registered($2 billion long gun registry)ensuring that criminals are denied access to firearms. Criminals up here therefore must use knives, sticks and rocks and other such non-restricted objects as weapons when carrying out a crime. ;D

Yes, all is ideal in Canada since the long gun registry ;D ;D ;D

Mc ;D

Have you tried the Hornady 325 grn Lever Evolution rnd yet? I like the set up you have, looks like you could move good in the brush.
