Revisitting the .40-70

[J.B.]

My boy and I shared use of his 40/70 Creedmoor at the 2013 Q and I'm a big fan of the cartridge. We both could have shot better..but that was no fault of the cartridge. I personally havent found it a temperamental round to load at all but judging from some forums, a lot have. ..In the absence of a 44 option...I was considering a 40 cal for a 77 if I pursue that avenue. If the winds arent too savage they'll place at 1100 yds.. or at least my son can. Have a new Accurate Molds bullet to try but have yet to get the range time. Maybe next month.. ?
