Trying out the Shiloh
Picked up a beautiful #1 Shiloh 45-70 with a 32 inch standard weight barrel, has an MVA long range soul and a Baldwin front on it.

Finally got around to giving it a bit of a run. Shot at 500 meters.Was somewhat surprised by the two bullets it shot well. Both were loaded on top of 75 gr of OE 2f with the Napa rubber cork wad, and muzzleloader original dry lubed felt wad. Both bullets also wrapped in Seth Cole 55 w.

.444 diameter 1.1 inch long from the Old West nose pour adjustable creedmoor mould. cast from wheelwright.
   

.446 525 M from BACO cast with 16-1
