My current load for my Apex is a 250 gr Barnes TEZ flat base bullet in a Harvester smooth black sabot for 300gr and under bullet.
Group 1 was the first try with the above combo using 110gr of BlackHorn 209 powder at 100yds. My barrel was running hot so I cooled it off in my car with the AC..I think I got it too cold cause shot 1 in group 2 was high and left. Shots 2 & 3 printed back with group 1.
The conversion will run about $110 for the breech plug install, $40 for the breech plug, $200 for the 45-70 barrel, $50 for the full contour forend.
From what I have researched, the smokeless conversion with the Apex is a good shooter but if you don't want the added expense right now, you can tweak your Apex to be an excellent shooter. I installed a 2X hinge pin on mine and floated the forend with a steel washer between the barrel and forend.
Do you still have that 45 Elite for sale?

^^^^^ above prices sound a little too high to me.... I know I can get the barrel and forend for $199 plus tax...

I did round up on everything to cover tax, shipping, etc..
Where can you get both the barrel and forend for $199?, that would be a good buy
