I wanted to do this since I have had the Ideal tool for reloading the .45-70-500 cartridge. This film is about shooting the M1884 Springfield Trapdoor to 300 and 500 yards with a close copy of the original cartridge. Long range, back powder cartridge, Ideal tool. What elso you need for a good day?
This is not the full version of the film. The full version showing the reloading part is visible at: https://www.patreon.com/posts/original-m1884-158238961

Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish. 😉
