Re: 45-70. on the range
Had a few min's , so I ran over to the club range.
Took the 45-70 and the box of 350 gr rn bullets
I found yesterday. That I loaded back in Feb.
Only pushing @ 1790 fps. But they made it a full
100 yds. And still penetrated a thick. Cardboard target.

Re: 45-70. on the range
first time I've ever seeing a target like that .... 4 350 grain rounds from a 45-70 in the heart at 100 yards, I'd take that most any old time .... well done, truly well done

If your not trying to push them. As hard as you
Can. They really can surprise you. How well they will shoot. I don't try to turn them into 300 win.mags.

Looks like a lot of fun. I would expect those to go through a few jugs of water at 100 yards let alone a thick cardboard target. That is a lot of mass moving pretty quickly.
