I'll bet the muzzle blast from that thing would knock the ears off a brass mule.

I wish they had shown a price list. I sort of like the AVR/BS in 375 H&H. http://montanarifleco.com/?page_id=178

I just looked over MRC and they've got some nice looking rifles. I didn't know they existed. Their 375 rifles are a bit light an 7 1/2 pounds. Maybe Cooper can get some competition now.

I never used smokeless in the 45-70 but rather a 530 gr "Postell" bullet behind 64-66 gr of Swiss 1.5 powder. I've only shot BP in the 45-70 or 38-55. It's a good push with the 530 gr bullet but no pain.

I believe this rifle weighs right at 9 pounds and I don' t think I'd want it any lighter. I've shot the Marlin 45-70 and it was rough but not as bad as a Rolling Block carbine in the same caliber with a brass crescent shaped butt. That will get your attention. I got sort of bummed out when I...

I'm giving serious thought to a M70 Super Grade 375 H&H. Those that have this caliber what would you liken the recoil to...45-70, 35 Whelen or maybe the 300 Bee Magnum? I've sit at the bench and fired 30-40 rounds from the Browning 1885 BPCR 45-70 and wondered if it may be comparable.

I've given those cases enough time so, I think I'll trash them. I hate doing that but I'm not going to spend hours with it when I have 200 new cases and 40 already fired 8-9 times. That 270 Vanguard was the worse shooting 270 I've owned and I've had 5-6. It didn't group well and smacked me on...

I tried that. In fact, I set the die a bit further so that it bumped the shoulder back .004" and the case still wouldn't chamber. I've never see this before.

They came out of the Vanguard that I no longer have. I have the RCBS FL die screwed down till it touches the shell holder and likewise for the Redding, still a no go.

I have about 20 twice fired 270 cases that were shot in a Vanguard. Last night I FL sized them as I was going to use them in a M70...they won't fit. The bolt will not close on a FL sized case and it makes no sense. I checked the OAL and it was within specs. I even tried another die, the Redding...

280 or 270 Winchester or even the "ancient" 7x57 and a Nosler PT bullet would be my choices.

The Forster Original has given me good service.

I have some Talley's on my M70 270 with the Leupold 2.5-8x.

My Browning 1885 does not like lighter bullets. In fact, the lightest one that will group decently is the Saeco 645 at 480 gr. It does the best work with the Lyman 457125 and the Postell bullet at 530 gr.

I've read in several different sources where Mike Venturino said a Lyman 457125 gr bullet would completely penetrate a 1,000 pound buffalo. Hard to imagine with a bullet going probably no more than 1200 fps doing that at any range.

Add midrange Soule sights, set trigger, silver nose cap and extra fancy wood and you've got another grand or more. Shiloh is a bit more expensive. I've seem many going over 4K. Check this bad boy out. http://csharpsarms.com/catalog-detail/2 ... -SOLD.html

I can appreciate the fine quality and workmanship from C. Sharps and Shiloh but $3500-$5K seems a bit much. So many would love to have a rifle from either of those manufacturers but can't afford the price and or don't want to wait a year to get it..

I put one of those on my '52 M70 270 and it works superb and is a piece of cake to install. http://erniethegunsmith.com/catalog/c13_p1.html

Yep, that's definitely minute of Elk.

The 45-70 is a real blast to shoot(pun intended). I took mine out early yesterday and put 35 rounds through it with three different bullets and charges. One thing about BPCR's is you get some attention when you touch one off and no one can see their targets for a few seconds. They may not be...
