45 LC dialed in!

10 rounds in a spot the size of a 50 cent piece at 50 yards!! Ammo was Federal 225gr jacketed soft tip. Fantastic day! Found 200 rounds of ammo and got to shoot. Doesn’t get much better. I was shooting with the scope remounted to the standard rail and using my right eye. Very hard to do right now. I couldn’t get an accurate shot off quickly if I had to. Taking my time though, I did good.

3 rounds down the 45-70. Dinner plate grouping. I really need to figure out the scope situation for it. I simply love the recoil of that round. Very distinct. Really turns a lot of heads when it goes boom!

I’ll be cleaning them up and locking them away for a while. At least until I decide on a scope. In June, it’s off to Texas for a hog hunt if everything goes as planned. We’ll have to see how my wife is doing. Hopefully better than she is now. 😒

first time I've ever heard someone say they "love the recoil" of a 45-70 .. :shock: .. as to the blast turning heads, that I do understand :lol:

The only recoil I find uncomfortable is 3” slugs. They kinda hurt.

a few decades ago I could say pretty much the same thing but those days are gone and won't ever return for me
