[QUOTE="Van A Short, post: 5106390, member: 21778"] I am 77 years old in June .Due to that and medical reasons my deer hunting days are behind me. Moved to Tennesee for medical treatment in 2013 from Blacksburg area of Virginia. For many years I worked as a commercial beekeeper for honey production. Served in Vietnam with B Troop 1/9, 1'st Cav Airmoble. Disabled retired. Graduate Virginia Tech. Am in process of purchasing an 1874 in 45/70 from Shiloh Sharps for my nephew. I will not be able to shoot it because of the recoil...brittle bones......I think I could get by shooting a 45/65. Have never shot a 40/65 so if any one has something to say about the recoil I would l would like to hear it. I am somewhat knowledgeabe about reloading up close to benchrest level. Was also into cycling....little rusty on that now but in past built two bikes. Also was a Virginia Hunter Safety instructer for many years. For past 4 to 5 months have been learning all I can about shooting BPCR. [/QUOTE]
