45-120 RECOIL

This is my 45-120 I made from reaming out a 45-70 H&R Buffalo Classic. The loads I used in the video are about equal to a .458 Winchester Magnum, but in a gun with less ideal stock design, and it's also very lightweight.

Are you still able to shoot .45/70 in this gun?

[tykempster]

@TheSherminator64

You can, but I do not.

@tykempster why not?

[tykempster]

@intezam You get the rest of the chamber dirty since the longer brass isn't in there. Can make it hard to chamber longer rounds if it gets too gunky.

That looks like fun...

It's all Weight ratios, Forces and Accelerations....He and his gun put together weigh only slightly more than the bullet.....thus RECOIL

@tykempster how heavy is the gun, iam guessing not heavy enough to stop the horrid stock from shitting on u lol

[intezam]

@tykempster Great answer, that explains it very well. Merry Christmas btw.

I have an H&R Buffalo Hunter in .45-70 and a Sharps repro in .45-120. The H&R with blackpowder cartridges is fine and shoots great. Rechambering the H&R to .45-120 is neat, but this rifle is lightweight to begin with. Recoil has got to be pretty stiff. Even in a 12 pound Sharps, the .45-120 recoil is noticeable.
