NICE! Let me know how it works out. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the rifle?

By the time in gets in my hand I'll have about $470 into it.

Good deal....let me know if they have anymore!

it'd be fun to try some 45 cal hornady xtp hollow point pistol bullets, (heaviest ones you can find), at LEAST twice the normal pistol velocity in that bad whamma-jamma. might be able to find a little hair and red mist left from whatever you shot.

I don't think that would work very well...
Hornady 45 caliber XTP bullets are all .452" where as 45-70 cartridge uses .458" jacketed bullets... or .459" or .460" cast bullets.

you might be right a quick check on reloadersnest.com didn't show any diameters of the bullets. guess you are STUCK with 250-550gr wt's with severall hollow points in the 250-300gr wt range, 1 example a hornnady 300 gr hollow point with 60 grs of reloadet 7 powder for 2443 fps in a 22" bbl for a mere 3974 foot/pounds of energy. guess that will work too.
