I'd been thinking I wanted one of these to play with for some time now, and finally found one at the right price at a gun show this weekend. The previous owner had replaced the rear sight with a Willliams Foolproof, so I have good repeatable click adjustments. I loaded up some ammo with the RCBS 300gr. levergun bullet, 55gr. Goex CTG compressed .190, .7cc Cream 'o' wheat, and a Win LR primer. I wanted to have something pretty mild to start with, due to the gun's light weight. Wow, at 100 yards almost all the shots were touching! At 200 on our gong at Zia it was holding groups smaller than my hand, (didn't go out to measure them). And it's just so easy to clean! I wondered if the really big bore (.453 or so) would work, and it seems to be just fine. This is a great fun shooter! I'm going to try it in our cast bullet silhouette match instead of my .260 in a couple of weeks, to see if I can hit many with iron sights and to entertain the other fellows.
