RE: CSA .40-70 Straight success finally...kind of
Those broken firing pins can really bugger a fella up. Had it happen to me at the nationals, shooting some excellent scores and then every thing went to pot. No good explanation until I went to clean the rifle up the second day and the breech wouldn't open...
I haven't shot it much in this rifle but the rcbs 400 csa bullet showed some promise as did the boring old lyman snover.
A wise man can always be found alone. A weak man can always be found in a crowd.
