Nice, very nice! I, too, have an affinity for the old boomers. Right now, the only thing I have in that category is a Rolling Block in 50/70. I do have a cartridge for the old Winchester double rifle that is in the 70/150/900 loading. Unfortunately, I was never able to find one of the 3-4 rifles that were built. Seems hard to believe that a 10 pounder is a "lightweight" but every ounce of that weight will help absorb the recoil some. What do you intend to hunt for first? Bear, elk, etc.?
