I thought I'd try and get that back edition. While I'm waiting for my new Sharps I have another Pedersoli 45/70 that I picked up that someone who passed on ordered, and never shot. I'm reading your story with interest to try and duplicate the good things you did. Thank you for writing it. Jon
It was the Fall 2016 issue #95 of the Black Powder Cartridge news. The article is actually titled "John Bodine Rolling Block Target Rifle from Davide Pedersoli, by Kenny Durham. Article starts on page 18 and the "Developing a old for the John Bodine Rifle" section starts on page 20. Hope this helps!
My load experiments are on hold for a period as I sent my RB breech block to Crossno to have a rimfire firing pin made to use with their liner. My cf pin was hitting so hard it was tearing the rim of the case and gas was coming out the back of the block when shooting. Hope to be back in the saddle in a few weeks.
