I recently stretched my .45 Cal Green Mountain LRH barrel out to 505 Yards, i tried this 3 different times, playing with target size and color til i found the right combo. My best 3 shot group was 7 inches, My rifle is a 1" TC Hawken, barrel is a blued Green Mountain LRH (Long Range Hunter) My peep is a Tang Mounted Williams FP Hawken with TK (Target Knobs) and Gib lock. My front sight is a Lyman 17AHB Globe with a small post Lee Shavers bpcr insert, The bullets i were using for this was Buffalo Arms .444-400, and Paper Patched with 2 wraps of 9# onion skin paper and sent through a .449 Sizing die to 'iron the paper out' my powder charge was 70 Grains of Swiss 3F, if i can figure out how to post pics on here i will do so.
