ok i need some input from you guys
my son has this encore that he got a 45-70 barrel for,,,,and he said "Dad can you work up a deer load for this?"
he lives in Ohio and this is one of the rifle calibers they can use now
Sure give it to me and i will work on a load that wont kill on both ends
so i loaded a few different rounds and yesterday i was at the shop to shoot ,,,wow,,with the loads down in the trapdoor range 12-1300fps this thing is shooting 2+' high at 50yrds,, even with the rear sight all the way down
i had 4 different loads made up just for starters,,,one of them was a load from the marlin data ,,,wow,,,those hurt,,,but they were low and i got the thing to shoot ,,,but i dont want the loads that hot,,,i mean its for white tail,,not cape buffalo
i would like a taller front sight,,,,does anyone offer different front sights??,,can i change it??? looks like it screws on
from the impact point i would like to make at least a 5/16" change
any thoughts??
thx
