At the risk of pouring gas on fire, taking possession of and having legal ownership of a firearm are two entirely different things. I can give a minor anything I want to anyone I wish, such as my grands, kids or what-have-you; but to take legal possession of a firearm you have to be legally...

Looks like your idea is about 500 years old, Jim, but you're right...if you build it you'll find someone that'll shoot it! :D

I've always been of the mindset that whatever works dependably best for the shooter, trademarks aside, is the weapon best suited for that particular person. Several of my handguns have been Taurus and still are. With that said, my wife's been carrying and shooting her Taurus 605 for a long...

Well, after good sound advice here and some serious pondering of the situation, I'm leaning towards bringing the cannon to the gun shop and sticking with my 45-70 rifles. Hey, I'm looking at it as a learning experience, and The Lord knows I've learned some rounds simply don't belong in a...

Thanks, guys, for the great feedback. Yeah, a lesson learned my friends...if you didn't load it, don't shoot it. Like I said, I've shot Jim's loads before and never expected to get hammered like that. Loved the guy, but the remainder of that box will remain where they are! LOL Thanks again...

The round was my bud's reload...so the good Lord only knows what he loaded it with. we are, were, about equal stature...good sized men, and I've used his re-loads before. I don't know...this round was simply off-the-wall it seemed! The recoil aside, it's the damn flinch I have now that's...

Thanks! For the first time in years I'm experiencing "flinch" and it SUCKS! Maybe having a hunk of iron almost creasing one's skull has something to do with it?? You mentioned the grips...the redstag grips are nice looking, but I'm thinking you have a seriously good point! I keep thinking...

9mm = a .45 on stun! Why shoot more than once when one does the job?

Okay, I am a huge 45-70 fan. With that said, I was given via my buddy's will, a BFR Magnum Research 45-70 revolver. With my primary wrist now severely spained and in a brace I now have flinch. Can someone PLEASE tell me that this was an uncommon occurance or what might have happened? I have...

A wealth of information, THANK YOU! :)

Thanks everybody, really appreciate the input. The patch option did occur to me but when in doubt stick to what ya know and works, two areas I'm lacking in right now when it comes to these rounds so by the book it is! Maybe someday once I get the hang of tweaking the reloading of these I might...

Getting into reloading my 45-70, so here comes a hopefully not-too-stupid newbie question. Can the bullets I use in reloading my for .45ACP pistol (230g JHP) be used for my 45-70? Also, how often can I re-use my rifle's brass safely? I do have "proper" 45-70 lead (Rem. 458, 405 Grain Soft...

Done!

Like 19-3Ben said, if it came in 45-70 that'd be great. But even then that's a hefty price tag!
