[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 2313369, member: 14195"] Beautiful gun. Would I shoot it? Absolutely. After a gunsmith checked it out for headspace and stuff like that. I'm betting that barrel isn't as bad as it looks. Just because the cartridge says 50-70 doesn't mean you have to put 70 grains of powder in it. You could start with a lighter load and use corn meal or grits as a filler over the BP. [/QUOTE]
