[QUOTE="netman, post: 1407783, member: 70875"] My 1886 is loaded with 4895 powder with a 330 Gould HP bullet. Drops deer like a hammer hit them. It has a marbles tang sight. My pederosoli 34” target rolling block has a Mike Yazel tang sight. This sight is good for way past 1200 yds. It shoots a postel bullet that is 545+grains. This rifle has shot a 10 shot group under 2” at 200 meters. Also 10 shot group at 500 meters 7-8 inches regularly. Best was under 6”. It’s loaded with black powder. We found that black powder is more consistent with FPS than modern powder. I also have a 22 lr tube/insert for shooting reduced size silhouettes out to 100 yards. This drops down the rolling block barrel. [/QUOTE]
