Boomer to the range

Post by Centaur » Mon May 16, 2022 5:06 pm

Brought my single shot 45-70 to the range today, shooting 53 gr of 3031 behind a 350 gr bullet. A definite attention getter off the bench, but also very accurate out to 100 yards. Shot a couple of one gallon jugs filled with water, and they exploded satisfyingly. Well worth a bruise on the shoulder.

Back in the day when I had a Marlin 45-70 the first thing I did was put a slip on Limbsaver pad on it. Still left a mark. :lol:

I bet those water jugs were impressive.
