Good point. There'd still be lead flying somewhere. I've read they used bird shot and previously holed coins. As far as being able to hit...
They did also have the .45-70 govt rifle round back then too. Created in 1873. The earliest loads had a 405 grain bullet (as opposed to a .45LC...
You may have an argument here. I don't know what the added velocity would have amounted to out of a rifle though. I'm guessing some but not...
Man Illini.... can I buy a portrait of that for my living room? Damn!!
Sure. I'm not saying it's impossible because I know people that have found some neat things on farms and bought them. But it's usually somebody...
