Hello Folks,
Picked up this beastie on trade last week. A BFR in 45-70
As some of you might have noticed by the picture it's a little shorter then normal, measures in at 6" versus the stock 7.5" or 10" barrels.
Hit the range Friday and broke her in 5 rounds of 350gr factory loads, 5 of 405gr factory and 20 rounds of 350 "hotter" hand loads.
A ton of fun and yes my wrists are intact. Factory loads were pretty mild considering the cartridge but the hotter hand loads definitely get your attention.
Pretty happy with her and she's easy peasy to load for compared to my previous big boomer a S&W 460V
Can hardly wait to do some more reloading and hit the range again.
