Well we drifted the sites out (hard fine target sites) and installed a brass bead type front sight and a classic style rear sight vs the screw adjustment style.

Bottom shot was first, second shot was lifting to the next elevation, 3rd-5th was on the final setting, aiming at 6 on the black circle so hitting pretty much exactly where aiming. Need a slightly lower front sight so it’s not maxed on adjustment.

430gr at trapdoor velocities, 50yd distance. Elephants beware, .45-70 is ready for use :D

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. :(
Need anything in trade?
Cheers,

what kind of velocity does the 140 grains list, curious how they would fit in with my current 130 gr, supply of 270s. maybe a pic of the box data listing vel. and drop. Oh and complements on that ammo belt, nice.
