F. Greysmoke ,#12093 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Can we use one in 45LC?? for plainsmen?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Come On Christmas Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yes, as far as I know. Old Jim did it a long time back. It was frown on at Peacemaker. The targets at Comin at Cha are 75 to 100 yards out and they asked for reduced loads. Unless it pans out I find a 45 Colt. I will work up a reduced load 45/70 and buy a Handi in that Caliber. Shameless P.S. Come shoot with me November 1st - 3rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 SHB, page 16 "Must use a SASS–legal single-shot rifle firing a traditional blackpowder rifle or revolver caliber cartridge (e.g., not a .30-30). The rifle may have spring actuated ejectors if they are standard for that rifle. .38 Special is legal" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I use a 38-55 Buffalo Classic, less recoil than a 45-70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Come On Christmas Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 I had a Buffalo Classic in 45 70 that was not very accurate. The word on the street is they have accuracy problems. If I can't find 45 colt in a used Handi. I will get a 45/70 Handi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
