Thread: Who's shooting .45/70. ?

I have a single shot Springfield 73 which I bought off a nice chap here on the forum. Off the bench, with 70 grain blackpowder loads or even ''low powered'' 50 grains of Varget, with a 405 grain bullet it hits you like heartache, as they say. I havn't taken it out anywhere apart from the range at the moment, although I am dead keen to get a deer with it.
