I have one also. I cast and shoot the 340gr. bullet with 30grs. of accurate powder.

I sold mine. I wish I would have kept it. It is a neat gun.

I have 2 of em, one has been rechambered to .45-120-3¼" Sharps Straight, I throated the .45-70 cuz they have short throats, you won't be able to load to SAAMI COL with most 350gr and bigger bullets unless you go to bore rider style bullets. Biggest I shoot are 550gr Saeco #20 and the 525gr Beartooth Piledrivers, both at around 1800fps. You'll want to add some weight or an MRR to the stock and probably add a leather slip on recoil pad, the steel butt pad isn't user friendly with stout loads. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
