Met another great Texan today...
« on: February 21, 2014, 10:51:55 AM »
Swapped 'jbob' a hornet barrel for a 45-70.  Great guy, and I think we both got what we wanted.  Only a bit of lug filing and it thunks together solid.  Might have to give the latch shelf a little work.

 Dug around in my parts stuff and this was the best I could do.   

Big thanks to my good neighbor James!!!

22 Feb clarification.  I got the 45-70 [below], jbob got the hornet.

If you haven't cruised through GMDR for good pistol powder loads for your 45-70, give it a look-see.

10 grains Clays and a 405gn LFP make a solid thud out of my 45-70 22" Handi.  Cheaper than IMR-4895, too.

Have a bit of Unique and 4198 so I'm using them for the moment.  Lots of 405 cast leads.  Just having fun with out knocking myself into the gulf.  45-70 is like 30-30 - they just seem to work out better for me that others.   

The stock is off a Huntsman and the comb is higher then a BC stock; why I used it.  Not so pretty though.

IIRC the Frank Marshall Jr. all rounder load for the 45-70 was about 13.0 of Unique.
Ive used it and liked it, but use a load of Trail Boss now that does the same and has better load density.
BTW, isnt saying 'another great Texan' redundant?

Us Okie's appreciate you Texans keeping that big sandbar in place so the Gulf doesn't flood us.  :o   ::)   ;D
 
Nice looking rig. I think you'll like it. 45-70 is just flat out fun to shoot.  ;)

I don't think it's very nice to call Pete a ground rat... much less a fat-stupid one.
