Re: Kodiak MK 5 45/70 BPCR

QUOTE........ "Rifling is a bit fast for RB - well, way too fast. As you probably know, I prefer round balls - if possible, but the twists are not slow enough. Squib loads might shoot for plinking or for grouse, but that's about it."....



Daryl, I meant I was going to shoot some round balls out of my round ball guns, not out of the 45-=70......As have many RB guns that are extreemly accurate with out so much fuss........REAL black powder of course in REAL black powder guns....

I checked the bore and all 6 of my 45/70 rifles nad there seem to be quite a bit of difference in bore size and rifling depth....Maybe gonna need different bullets for each gun? Think I will try the get the Kodiak sighted in first and go from there, and MAYBE that load will shoot good in another one?.....Thanks, Guys for all your help....Ed

Think Buffalo Bill had these problems????
