dave,
you can use a breech loader.
Must be of a Caliber used prior to 1900,
Must have an exposed hammer.
Must be a break Action.
Must be a single shot.

Cheers CM thanks for clearing that one up ! So weapons like a Sharps for instance would be permisable or even a Snider ! I wonder how you'd go with a Martini Henry ? as it has of course no exposed hammer ? I'm guessing there'd be no problems with the 577-450 round !

You blokes may be able to clear something up for me ! The origanal Load for a 45-70 was it 45 cal -70 gns of Black Powder & was it a 405 gn or a 500 gn bullet ? Over here there are two schools of thought one being that it was a 405 gn bullet & the other that it was a 500 gn bullet ! Dave |

I thoughtbit was a .450 gn bullet (or there abouts)
Like my Enfield smoke-pole..it's a .577 - but MOST folks refer to it as .58. I COULD be wrong (again) I also note that PENNSYLVANIA - & maybe other states, are moving to close the black powder deer hunt to breechloaders. Hoadie - up to his brass in beer caps |
