Nothing wrong with long range shooting for my original JM Marlin Ballard #5 Pacific (circa 1877-78) in 45-70. It is deadly out to several hundred yards

Beautiful weapon.
Have a friend who owns several 45-70 rifles. I think one of them is a Ruger No. 1.
My father has a trap-door 45-70 that was given to him when he was 3 years old by a great uncle. The uncle had carried it during the Spanish/American War. That is not a strong action, have read it was a modification of a muzzle loader to accept the brass cartridges.
