[QUOTE="T_Bone, post: 353863, member: 22343"] You might want to read this article [URL="http://www.researchpress.co.uk/longrange/sandyhook.htm"][B]Sandy Hook Tests[/B][/URL] of shooting 2miles in 1879 while using black powder cartridge in 45-70 and 45-90 using 500gn boolits. Pretty impressive results. Remember that there were also tons of buffalo taken at long range using the 45-70 and 45-90's in the 1800's. I also found while throwing lead at 1000yds plus, a steel target with a swinging center will let you know when your on target as the swinging metal makes a different ring when hit than the stationary steel. :cool: [/QUOTE]
