I've had this gun for over 4 yrs and never shot it yet . I have 300 minnie balls for it and need to shoot it before I sell it . They were the magnum in there day . They loaded them up to 190 grs of 2F which was 2200 fps with 500 gr minnie ball which put it up the with a 458 Winchester magnum class . 80 gr of 3F is a good target load and super more pleasure too shoot and easier on the shoulder too . It will shoot a patched round ball also because it has a 1 in 72 twist ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by tx gun runner; 05-06-2013 at 01:24 PM. |

500 grains at 2200fps.....thats a helluva lot of energy..gotta b over 2ton. Musta been a mean buffalo thumper back in the day. I was shootin buffalo bores 40 grain rounds for a bit and killed a few with em but they're pretty spendy. And when hornaday developed the leverevolution I made the switch 320 grains. Didn't have an issue till last fall but it was my fault. I didn't put it in the boiler room where they belong. I did finally get him with much effort and some stress on his part which I and most strive to avoid. Max me giggle a bit callin any 500 grain round minnie. U must have one heckuva collection tgr. You've posted some pics of some interesting firearms
