Hi all My 45/70 shoots 325gr hornady leverevolution quite well but shoots my home loads better,I use 49gr AR2207 350gr hornady RN for about 2040fps.My left barrel shoots about 6 inchs high at 100 yards and both are spot on for left/right. Because I intend to change the front sight, Alex will take the front sight off and it is clear that the barrels are not level.When off he will make up a higher ramp and level the barrels, put front sight back on.As the front sight is atached to the barrel bands left tight and right floating this should fix the prob. I have shot a fallow doe with mine and works well, not sure how to post photos yet.

Sure is a lot of fun my aim is to get mine to shoot 4 shots 2 from each barrel into a 2 inch groop at 100 yards .Both barrels will groop under that now just have to get them together. I will also fit a kahales on QDs for shooting in bad light eg dawn/dusk. That will do me for hunting sambar in Vic, I try and get over the dich 4 or 5 times a year.

I just received my 06 this past weekend. Has anyone loaded up any rounds yet for theirs? What was your load?
