I recently traded a FG CMPicon HRA M1icon for a 1873/1884 Trapdoor. I should have researched before I did it, but whats done is done. Now, I have a rifle I know nothing about(except what I've read here) and many questions. First, I want to shoot this but, see many say, "Use smokeless powder". I believe it shot black powder originally ,so I'd like to shoot blackpowder. I do not have time to reload so someone said go to Buffalo Arms.com. Do any of you know them? Next, 45/70, bullet grain? 405? 415? 500? I would really appreciate any knowledgeable opinions. Thanks in advance.
