I bought my 1st 45/70 about 4 years ago. A Knight KP1.
I did a lot of reading about it prior to investing any money in it. Seems that the rifle has a clean bill of health on the internet with the many reviews that I was able to read. I also own several Ruger # 1 rifles and know that the fore end can cause problems. The fore end on this rifle is totally isolated from the receiver of the rifle. I really liked that feature. The rifle also has a clean crisp trigger. The barrel has a 1 - 18 twist.
This rifle was chambered and sold in 300 Win. Mag.
So, the 45/70 with sane and reasonable loads shouldn't strain things at all on this rifle.
Any advice you'd like to offer about loads that you like to use in your 45/70 would be appreciated ?
I put my Burris 1.5 X 6 Variable on the rifle. Just about ideal in my opinion :
I got out today and cast about 100 of these.
It is the IDEAL 457483
I'm getting a nice, round .460" with ACWW's.
Anyone with this bullet that would like to step in and share your thoughts on the performance of this bullet in your rifle (s), I'd really like to hear your comments.
