Sounds like big fun Gary. I love putting large lead projectiles downrange through old long bbld guns. I have three Winchester .45-90's and two .45-70's. There was a guy a that Denver range a couple of years back that was shooting a .40-70 Sharps, a Uberti or something, that had the long brass scope on it and shot paper patch bullets. He was ringing the steel turkey at 485 yds no problem. Very impressive. I've not printed my .45-90 Hi Wall for over 200yds(3" groups) yet but now have the right mould for the more appropriate 300gr bullets vs the 400's I use in the .45-70's and will try longer range with those. The big bullets sure put a moose down with authority.
