Thinking on a new rifle

[MikeT]

My shooting pard started in LR with a 40-70SS, 16T, 420 gr gg bullet, 69 grs of 1.5 Swiss and a midrange tang sight. It worked for him at 1K. Shooting was done at 900 ft elevation so maybe at sea level he could have run out of sight adjustment.

For many years I shot a 40-82 Winchester 16T barrel, 440 gr gg bullet, 84 gr 1.5 Swiss
and a long range tang sight. It also worked at 1K. Now I shoot a 45-70, 16T barrel, with 523 grain PP bullet with 82.5 grs Fg Swiss and I will not go back to my 40.

Keep on hav'n fun!
