[QUOTE="bpcrshooter, post: 1730736, member: 100251"] well if you want the Quigley its a 45-110. It shoots a 535gr PPB"S (paper patch bullets) with 115-125gr of 1.5f black powder. I would like to shoot one but not own one, they really kick!!!. My 45-100 I use for 1k yard matches uses 105gr of 1.5F swiss powder, 520gr elliptical nose bullet, that is PP. If you look at what the shooters of the day were actually shooting at and compared it to today's targets....the scores were not that great, dont get me wrong they were great for the time though. Here is a little reading.....[URL]http://www.researchpress.co.uk/index.php/firearms/long-range/sandy-hook-1879?start=1[/URL] this is a really good article as well. [URL]https://www.riflemagazine.com/magazine/PDF/ri54partial.pdf[/URL] I have a 45-70 rifle, 45-70 pistol, 2/ 45-100"s, 32-40win and soon a 40-82 silhouette. I just ordered my shiloh and its around an 18mo wait, just a FYI. Lots of fun shooting BP rifles thats for sure, If your ever in the WI area shoot me a PM and I can let ya have some fun!!! [/QUOTE]
