Thread: Suppressing a 45/70

I recently bought one of those single shot Henry 45-70s and really like it.

Starting to experiment with handloading the brass and also wondering about getting it threaded but wondering what real benefit a suppressor would have?
It would reduce the noise but maybe not by all that much.

For practice we can use hear pro and lighter loads. For hunting the number of rounds used might not harm our hearing at all if we can hit what we aim at.

I would like to get some cast lead projectiles as well but can't find any just now.

I loaded some cast 165 grain bullets for my Henry Brass 30-30 with 14 grains of AR 2205 and they do not make much noise or have much kick but still work well out to 100M.

I am going to try some Hornady 300 gr HP with 40 to 50gr of H335 in the 45-70 when we are allowed to go out again.
