iron sights first and see how it prints.the sights have a fine bead to them and are made by marbles.I have about 80 rd's loaded up that will give it a good workout. pete |

...what range would you hope for with that large a bullet??? I'd think 200 max...when I think longer, seems the bullet's too slow...I do love the idea of revolver/rifle eating the same lunch, though...

I wouldn't think even 200. Maybe 100 yards. The short barrel and heavy bullet should put it in the dirt pretty quick.

100 yards max.my goal is to find a load that works both in the bisley and the H&R.the bisley likes my 250 gr lfn with 9.0 gr unique with the 5.5" barrel I would guess that close to 900 fps + or -.it will be interesting to see what the velocity of H&R would be with the 20" barrel and the 1/16 twist. this is going to be a blast as its cheap to shoot casting my own bullets and just finding the sweet spot. pete |

...one track mind but that'd have been a defense choice for me back in those days...not a hunting rifle...a a great step up from black powder!!!

they also chamber this rifle in 500 S&W and 454 so it can take it if someone wanted to hunt with it.for pigs I'll use the 444 encore it has a recoil pad pete |

Nice pics, great looking little gun. Someday I will get a little .45colt rifle to partner up with my accusport bisley. I think I would rather have a lever gun though.
