I'm preparing to offer a batch of firearms for sale, and was thinking to include my Uberti rendition of the Browning/Winchester 1885. Nice gun, shoots good, but it's pretty heavy for a hunting rifle. Nah, she's too pretty, and I like the old 45-70. So let's try her as a target rifle. I mounted a Lee Shavers midrange Soule this afternoon. This sight really impresses me, and the fit to my rifle was perfect.
So I'm thinking to abandon the 300-350 gr JHP for 500 cast. I already have a load for a Buffalo Arms 0.458 cast, but I am thinking of running some paper patch bullets. Any thoughts? The midrange sight has enough elevation for about 600 yards.
