Rescued a Henry 45-70 single shot rifle

[XYZ]

I have an H&R Buffalo Classic in 45-70. Those things are party starters.

Most of those really like 405’s. And roll your own, loading .45-70 on a single station lee or similar is easy

I will see how the federal fusion 300gr shoots out of it, if I dont like it or the rifle does not like em, I will try the 405s. Buddy of mine said he uses cowboy loads with a 405, travel around 1200fps.

Anyway mine tends to like the big heavy cast (500 gr) better for longer distances, but that comes with a price. I typically crank the 340 gr for plinking. Much more enjoyable after 20 or more rounds.

This is more for some of the heavy brushy areas I hunt from time to time. I think that federal load will work well

I like the 45/70 in the marlin guide gun!

I love my 1895G. When the zombie apocalypse comes at least a zombie or two will fall to my 1895. I'll probably get eaten after that...

Indeed

The guide guns a good one.

Maybe a lot more than that if they are all lined up and your using a water quenched wheel weight boolit!

I do like that Henry single shot, though. I didn't even realize Henry did that. I'ma see if I can squeeze just one more rifle on to my "Must Have" list!

Henry stepped into the single shot world a few years back. Glad to see they did after HR and NEF shut down.
