Range time with SML'er

[ourway77]

Well after over two years not shooting went to the range with my 20" Encore 45-70 Slufoot conversion After bore sighting fired my first shot at 100 Yards not on paper second shot hit far left brought point if impact to the bullet next series of shots hit close so after more adjustment got close to mark shooting 10/4759 48/H-4198 with smooth sized 240 grain 45 Caliber pistol bullets.
Ater getting close fired 4 more shots

Here is the remaining 4 shot group I was pretty much satisfied with my shooting after absense of all that time The 45-70 encore with 4-12 scope and TH Laminated stock
Yhis is only my first outing will try different loads and the to get some better bullets for hunting Lou

That's a great first outing! Sharp looking gun too

Nice shooting! Beautiful Encore as well...

Shooting well. With the weight of the firearm, recoil might get your attention.

[ourway77]

Yes she does bark right good with TH Stock after shooting it over 12 times my right hand ached L>O>L> Lou

Great looking gun. How do you like the 20" barrel?

Great looking gun. How do you like the 20" barrel? It will make for a very good woods rifle It was only my first outing with the rifle weather has been crappy maybe tomorrow as I just got my second Encore 45-70 conversion all set up a 24" Hopefully I will have a report on both soon I can't wait till I get my 700 ML'er build that will be it for a while run out of $$$$$$$% now just getting bullets powder etc.

Is this a sabotless load? What is the conversion process and approximate cost?

[ourway77]

Yes was a sabot less load I was shooting 10/4759 48/H-4198 with smooth sized 240 grain 45 Caliber pistol If you have your barrel have Slufoot or Cole (CMC Firearms)convert it I have a barrel done by both Cost may be different from what I paid best to contact who ever you decide to go with as to the price. Good Luck
