[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1402420, member: 2736"] Most long range shooters use heavier bullets than the 405 grain bullets that have a ballistic coefficient of a brick. also Most shoot 45/90, 45/100, and 45/110s with 500+grain bullets. I have shot them at long distances out to 600 yards and performance is poor at best. But at 3 or 400 yards they can be impressive. I have a 45/110 (Quigley) and a 45/120 that likes a 620 grain postnell bullet that Is very accurate at the longer distances. I have never tried these bullets in the 45/70 because of the velocity, But I see no reason that with the right bullet, rifle and shooter it could be impressive. A 1 MOA group at 1000 yards with a 45/70 or any black powder cartridge rifle is very impressive and anything less is scary good !!! J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
