Anyone doing this? Lots of bullet jump. I also have a Henry 45-70 lever gun and I reload for both.
Don't know why I would do it but it has crossed my mind.
Similarly, I shoot a Uberti 1858 Conversion pistol in 45 Colt. The bullet jump is considerable. With the proper cylinder it will shoot 45ACP with even more jump. I got on interested in this after reading/YouTube about bullet seating and "land chasing" in some shooting sports and hunting rifles.
Anyway, must be a 3/4" jump for the 40-70 in a 45-120 bore. Wonder how fast the bullet is going when it hits the rifling?
