A buddy (Ibmikey) left a Rossi lever action in 45 Colt with me last summer, and it's just been laying in a safe since. The rifle probably hasn't had 20 rounds fired through it since new, and then just at some hanging steel targets. On a whim yesterday, I decided to go out to my range and pop off some rounds out of a few guns, and grabbed the Rossi. I found a bag of ammo that I probably had loaded for a Saa sometime in the past and figured that would suffice. I left a note in the bag with the ammo that said 45 Colt, 250 Hornady HP, 14.5 Gr 2400 and figured that would be good enough for some casual plinking.
I set up at the bench and rested the rifle on a chunk of 2x6 laying there with no sand bag under the butt...since I didn't expect it to be a real test of accuracy anyway. I fired the first shot at a target at 50 yds. and couldn't really see where it was hitting with my naked eye, so I fired two more shots and got the binoculars on it. Needless to say....I didn't have to adjust the sights...
