So it works really well?Yeah, but just my luck... Had bison all over the yard, and as soon as I got my 45-70, poof! They disappeared.

I had 2 bore rider molds. Did some shooting with them and never got the accuracy I was looking for, sold them.Very good, All the big moulds that I have in 45 are also postells from 520 to 540 depending on what alloy I use. A fe are bore riders that were made just for those bpcr rifles including the Steve Brooks that I have. They have huge throats that with the 70 and 90 I can easily leave a lube and driving band outside of the case and easily still chamber them in a somewhat dirty chamber. The bore riders need at least a 5 rd quick clean and a blow tube between shots.
I Goex Chartridge In them, I have about half a case of it left. I don't know what I will use if I finish what I have left.
In my 1886's I shoot smokeless and 350? grain bulk Winchester jacketed that Midway sold long ago.
I searched for a bullet that I could shoot a dozen or so accurate rounds through them with just using a blow tube.I had 2 bore rider molds. Did some shooting with them and never got the accuracy I was looking for, sold them.
It may very well have been me and my lack of loading development. Life got in the way with 3 daughters.
Have to get the BPCR out again and have another go at it.
Still loads of fun.

I F'd up long back when I was offered a left handed Axtell Sharps, and I passed on buying it. They didn't make many before they sold out.Just go ahead and send your deposit to Shiloh Sharps.
I've shot a 110+ in a day from my Browning bpcr in 45-70 shooting black, with minimal bruising.Posted above on .45-70 rifles I own and shoot but if I could only have one it would be a Browning converted from a .40-65 to a .38-55. The .38-55 will do as good as the .45-70 to 500 yards. It shoots much softer on your shoulder. A 100 round .45-70 will leave you shoulder black and blue the .38-55 won't. Most areas in Indiana won't let you get a 1000 yard shoot but 500 yards is possible.
There is a Elwood CC member that has a 50-120 Sharps, I offered to load him a bunch of smokeless rounds.50-110 black powder for the win. Because teeth are over rated.
Yup.. you don't need that shoulder. Shoulders are overrated50-110 black powder for the win. Because teeth are over rated.
Along with compressed loads over 70 grains.Yup.. you don't need that shoulder. Shoulders are overrated
That's beautiful right there.Who wants to adopt me and buy my toys?
Like Ruger's, Sharps, Modern Browning/ Winchester Highwalls and Browning / Winchester 1886's can shoot?CVA CR4806S Scout V2 Break Open 45-70 Government 25' 1 Black Fixed w/CrushZone Recoil Pad Synthetic Stock Stainless Steel Receiver
<p>For the hunter who wants a high quality single shot rifle in only one caliber, the Scout V2 is the ideal choice. Sleek, lightweight, and easy to operate, the Scout V2 sets a new standard for affordable, single shot hunting rifles. It sports a 25' fluted barrel constructed of 416 grade...battlehawkarmory.com
I've been looking at one of these for some time now. Haven't pulled the trigger because I'm wanting one I can handload the more powerful modern 45-70 loads for. Would this handle that?
Yes basically a 300gr bullet at around or close to 2500fps. IIRC thats around 40,000psi.Like Ruger's, Sharps, Modern Browning/ Winchester Highwalls and Browning / Winchester 1886's can shoot?
What does CVA say?Yes basically a 300gr bullet at around or close to 2500fps. IIRC thats around 40,000psi.
That's what I wanted to hear. Just wanted to be sure about this, also why I've been putting it off until I found out more about it.What does CVA say?
Lots of people shoot loads in break opens that I would never consider using in those rifles.
I know from personal experience its no fun to blow up a high pressure firearm. I evaporated a 10 1/2" Super Black in 44 mag, blew the cylinder in half, broke the frame under the rear sight and split the frame when the barrel screws into it. I've posted pics of it here before.
Myself, I'm going to stick with Trap Door loads, if I ever did buy a break open.
I'm just not a believer in the strength of those actions.
