    Lee 450 grain Bullet in 1866

    IMG_3654.jpgIMG_3655.jpg

    60 Grains WC872 from Jeff Bartlett.
    Magnum primers.

    100 yards.

    6 O'Clock hold.

    I simply blow the unburned kernels out the chamber. Cheap fun shooting.

          That's 50-70!

          There's more to trapdoors than plain old 45-70!

              Yep, the 45-70 came out in 1873.
              That is a model 1866.

              Read about The Wagon Box Fight where the 1866 was used to great advantage against the Sioux and Red Cloud.
