My Uberti m76 in 50/95 top rifle. Taylor's m76 in .46/60, restocked on the bottom.
1st day at the range, I used 75gr. 2F GOEX and a 420gr. FN.(shortened Lyman #515141) and made 2-5-shot groups. Best was almost square 2.4" x 2.65". The second groups not as good, but was long and thin on a diagonal - 1.5" x 3.25". The range was 100 meters.
I now shoot a Lyman #515239 in 368gr. with 52.0gr. N44 for 1,650fps as well as 85gr. Swiss 1 1/2F for 1,580fps. I expect to get on the 1000 meter buffalo with this rifle, this summer. I have a Smith Ladder sight on it now.
I also was thinking of a Spencer Carbine now that brass is available.
Me shooting Taylor's .45/60 after he firelapped it.
Beautful guns Darryl, I always liked the extra large look of the 1876, they are elegant. I recall one of the modern repro lever actions being run up to almost 458 win energies. Not sure if it was something chambered in 45-60 or 45-90 or something...
