Howdy All!
Not that I’m a frequent poster or “known” member, BUT some may have known that I am into big bore rifles. Namely 45 2/10” and primarily from leverguns, now a Shiloh.
Well this single shot nonsense is the name of the game you guys. There’s something about that big push that keeps me wanting more.
That I mention the Shiloh is important. That fella up in NC whom I purchased it from knew of another old school shooter who had what I was looking for.
What floored me was the asking…$1200 cash for this essentially new No.1 with a new very forgiving recoil pad addition. You got me!
I’ll drive up north of Charlotte from Charleston here in two or three weeks. It’s just another excuse to get myself up that way and relax with a new and fast friend over four decades my senior and his lovely wife. Whom plies me with her cooking, and I’ll say, she knows her way around the stove and kitchen y’all.
The cartridge itself? Well I’m very much interested in cartridges of significance historical importance and proven meat gathering ability. I also prefer big bore to small little fast spitzers. It’s just my thing.
That 9mm is there for a reference, then there’s a 45-70 stuffed with a hand cast 480gr pill. That tall skinny feller is the new cartridge in the lineup. So .375H&H is known to shoot almost same POI across all of its traditional loadings. That’s of great importance. I can gather to me what factory I can before getting into loading for it. That pictured bullet is a 300gr that advertises around 2500 fps. That bullet is supposedly going to impact (across a very close 30-06 flight path) in the same spot as some 270gr moving at 2700fps. That’s cool as heck to me but I’m a simple man.
In any event, there will be HD Porn when I get the gun in. There may come a time where I top it with a vintage Vari-X 1.5-5x (gloss of course!) but for the time being I don’t see my shots pressing beyond 100 yards. The flip up open sights are plenty sufficient for that task.
Thanks y’all!
