I just inherited a 45/70 Springfield Trapdoor Rifle. In to me just fantastic conduction. It was left to me by the best Shooting Partner other than my Son, I have ever had. He left me a note with the Rifle saying He hoped that I would shoot it. Not just make a Safe Queen out of the Rifle. So I intend honor His wishes and do just that. Only one problem, I have never shot a 45/70 Springfield Trapdoor before. So any real first experiences or shooting advice would be greatly appreciated. I with be loading to start with, 35grs of IMR3031 and a 405gr Hard Cast LRNFP bullet that should produce about 1250fps to 1350fps. This load shoots very well and very comfortabley in my other 45/70`s. Thanks in advance for any help.
