it is a 45-70 blued wood stock this weekend i took it out and shot two boxes of the pmc cowboy ammo but it still very impressive power wise on bowling balls and pins just shred them with the cast bullet i was shooting open sights at about 37 yards.

Congratulations superdown! Is this a brand new #1, or did you buy it used? They are both beautiful, and accurate, and the .45-70 is a great caliber too!

I also have one and it is a fun gun to shoot. I reload some 400 gr. Barnes X bullets intended for the 458 Win Mag. What a power house.

superdown, the Remington 405 gr. factory round would work good for your application.
