Forget what powders I was using around that time. I've played with Unique, 1680, and 4227 lately.

A 24" M1873 rifle weighs around 9 lbs. but the balance feels more like 7-1/2 to me. Trim.

Some guys here at work need to dispatch a little doe caught in the fenced area at one of our division sights before she gets out in the highway and causes an accident. Very risky. One of those would be perfect. I tried to steer them toward a shotgun with buckshot. Not sure what they have handy.
