Very nice rig! How does it shoot those paper patched bullets?
I'll know this Friday, as load development begins and powder charges and seating depths are tested. The good part is that since PPBs for black powder are bore riders, there's no cartridge OAL or ogive lengths involved. I also have some smokeless PPBs to test as well - very different set of cartridge build rules for those.

Lovely rifle, in a cartridge which is overlooked. The only rifle I sold that I wished I never let go was a Ruger #3 chambered in 45/70.
That's pretty darn cool
