Thread: 45/70 SUBS

So is the bergara single shot takedown with 20in barrel the best option for subs and full power if using the hornady sub-x 420gr and lever evolution ftx325 gr factory rounds?
I believe the twist rate is 1:20...
Will this be suitable for reasonable stability and accuracy?

That is the same as the SBL twist rate but only put a few rounds of subs through it and that was more of a noise experiment and haven't tested for accuracy as such.

Friend took his muzzle loader for a goat hunt with me... found one lined up and took the shot...fuck knows if he hit it... couldn't see a thing for ages through the bloody great cloud. The goat wasn't there when it finally cleared but no way to see even which direction it went in. There was a few bleats but I reckon it was just laughing at us...

Boooom!!! Smack, quick step to upwind side. Maybe the goat was just a couple of bits of fluff you missed in the smoke cloud.
