This Ithaca is a beauty and I would not hesitate to shoot it with Polywad or similar shells.

I ought to try out some of my father in law's Revolutionary and Civil War rifles on game.

I have shot my 1861 Springfield hundreds of times, but have never hunted with it. Those pure led minie balls would be devistating on game I think.
