    It's an express rifle and takes a huge case with a very big BP charge
    Left is my recently restored 1885 45-70
    Right is 500. Funny case with bullet seated only just fits in front of sight staff

    I have everything on hand now I need to test fire it
    But have one small item still to do before that happens
    Expect it to be lively because the 500 is actually lighter than the 45-70

    But not a high volume shooter
