40 sbn

[Kurt]

I had a .40-70bn once. It was a roller and it also came with two boxes of ammo. The shells where most unusual. The base was threaded iron that screwed into a brass upper part.
This caliber was a very tough one to get to shoot worth a hoot even worth the original factory rounds and reloads. But this was back in the 50's when I had that rifle and I was still sifting out blasting powder we had out in the machine shed to reload the cartridges
But I would like to have another one in that caliber.

That was probably one of the old Everlasting rounds. Probably would be pretty pricey among collectors

A lot of the mid range 40SBN's were so configured, very nice indeed. bobw

Yep, pretty much straight out of Sellers book on this one.
