A bit more of range report

from the other day, this one from the .45-70.  The load is the Lee 500-grain bullet, seated so the case just covers the last lube groove and is crimped, a .060 fiber wad, 35.0 grains of Blackhorn 209, Starline case, and a Federal large rifle magnum primer.  200 yards
For my eyes and iron sights, I'll take it.  4 3/16", so just over 2moa.

It's probably a good thing I can't get to that range very often, as I'd run into a lead shortage.

"Range too often"

"Shortage of lead"

These phrases just don't make sense, together, or separately.

Plenty of lead at the range, and you can't go too often, you can only go often enough.
