4570 single shot H015

[peace 32]

OK finally got it out to the range happy with the way it shoot. But it does have a small problem. As I am a little guy 6 foot five 250 pounds length of pull 16.5 inches organs are slightly small so I use a recoil pad slip on to add the length it I’m used to it so it works. But my rifle did come missing a screw Henry’s sent me one overnight. When I went to them about the new problem they told me to read drill the sling mount in the front but if I break the forearm I would have to buy a new one. Really no help so I fixed it myself I know longer have the sling mount chewing on my fingers. Love this rifle. And I hope spellcheck doesn’t change it to raNg time.

Ouch on that last picture? Filling the hole and adding a tube clamp - good solution.

Ouch! Your modification looks like it worked out OK, though. As I think about it, some single shots do come with a barrel band as original equipment, Ruger #1-A, for example. So not only did you solve the swivel stud bite problem, you made an upgrade . I'll leave mine alone, though, since I'm short .

I'm pretty gangly, myself. I haven't shot mine yet, so thanks for the head's up. I did notice they're a little 'sharp' looking, compared to the typical more rounded style...

[BigAl52]

I think that looks good myself the way you fixed it. Probably didn’t even feel that ouch when you did that did ya

[peace 32]

No not till several shots later.since then I have put another 100 rounds through it mild to wild I don’t think a 45-120 is going to work to short of a barrel. So I am thinking 45-90 but is it worthwhile to Change it recoil is not the problem as I am using only black powder in it.

[BigAl52]

45-90 is a neat round. But 80gr of 2fg black packs a pretty good punch. No way of knowing if its worth it or not. How far are you shooting. Ive shot 45-70 with black and it does a good job.

[peace 32]

well normal shots 100 to 150 yards. but every once in awhile i do like to shoot at the 500 yard gong. i can usually hit it 3out of 5 times. but i would love to shoot regularly at 200 yards just for fun,

well tried everything paper patched ,bullet set forward ,black powder, 39.4 grains of imr 4198 shot best. so i went ahead and reamed it to 45-90. 85 to 90 grains of black powder, 29.0 to 39.0 of 5744 500 grain fnlead ,the imr 4198 hits harder than eaither black or5744. 40 rounds of 45-90 in the h015 and 50 rounds of imr4198 in my marlin 1895gbl all to day shoulder feels fine. in the stock there is a hole it,s near 4 inch deep .866 wide 2.8 long i put a small bag that i made in there and filled it with # 9 shot . with scope it came out to 10.2 pounds.a real joy to shoot.will post photos tomarrow. thank you all for your coments.

Have you tried a PAST recoil shield that straps to your shoulder?

[peace 32]

No I have a limsaver slip on on the rifle .took it off and tried it with out still not bad. But length of pull is short for me.

Here is one target sun in the eyes blood sugar low shakes. Ok just bad shooting on my part.shoulder feels fine today so I will get her sighted one this week. this is at 100yds

Good to see your targets. Keep at it you'll get it dialed in.

sighting in our CCH 45-70 to fire full power hunting loads wasn't fun .... I've been wondering about the recoil from firing a 45-70 single shot from a bench .... it appears you have a handle on doing so

frist iam a big guy so it takes alot to hurt me . get a limb saver air recoil pad (sold at walmart ) about 29.00 bucks.makes a big difference i use a bag for a rest on the front only. then i reload my own ammo imr from35.5 to39.5 imr 4198 those top loads can be hard on you.i have been trying 5744 29.5 to 39.5 not as hard on ta. what got me to move to 45-90 i want to shoot 500gr lead bullets could not get the powder in there to be effective in my 45-70 gbl.the full black powder compressed by 300 thou is not as hard as full on 45-70 smokless load. the weight of the gun makes alot of difference try to find a way to make it heaver. and try the limsaver and try to push the bullet more than 1450 fps it will take everything.

at the time I was working to sight ours, I had been on blood thinning meds for a long time .... long ago, I found a trio of mods that work well in reducing felt recoil from big boomers .... first was to replace the factor recoil pad with a top rated one .... second, install a mercury recoil suppressor in the stock ... third, to have it Magn-na-ported ...

68 grains of 2f swiss a .030 vegie fiber wad a 540 grain Paul Jones Creedmore bullet. 45-70. I shot that many times at 500 yards. 45-90 does a better job at the yardages above that than the 70 but there is alot of guys still using the 70. I eventually got a 45-100 and loved it but that load worked for me for quite sometime. Im sure you are doing it if you are shooting BPCR but you need a drop tube to load black in rifle cases.

[peace 32]

yes sir i have a 24 inch and a 36 inch droptube. and the 45 -90 seams a little flater. but i still shoot my 45-70 also at 500 yards.
