45-70 Single Shot Government accuracy

[Hatchdog]

Back from the range! Working on the MOAB (Mother of all Bullets) heavy load for anything North America has to offer. The bullet is the Speer 400-grain SPFN. The final load was the max load listed...46.0 grains of IMR 4198. It produced a velocity of 1919 f/s and a 100-yard energy rating of 2135 ft-lbs. It shot a three-shot, one-hole group using a peep sight at 50 yards. Not too shabby! I'll take it.

I pity the mad charging Rhino who wanders your way.

I was thinking of keeping it handy as a backup rifle over in Seligman, AZ this year. Wounded prairie dogs can be VICIOUS!
