Since there were no posts for the LittleHorn I figured I might as well break the ice. Here's 3 happy campers and the results of what a LittleHorn can do in the hands of an 11 year old.

They shoot really accurate. My little guys only used 70 gr and a 250 gr bullet. My older one shoots 90 gr
We tested sst, shockwaves , and lehighs . They all shot good but I limited the kids to 60 yards since they just started hunting and they were using open sights.

Great pictures, I just wish KNIGHT would have came out with a .45 for the younger kids, that way they could load a 185 or 200 gr. bullet and have lighter recoil. If they would I would buy (1) each year for our Belmont Sportsman Banquet, I would have the youths do a short essay and the winner would receive the ML for there efforts. :D

The kids shot some 200 gr shockwaves and they shot great out of the littlehorn,you are right about a 45 cal Littlehorn, it would be a good thing. Maybe it will happen in the future. But til then there are 200 gr bullets for it that work

Great pictures. And that goes to show what a rifle like that can do in the right situation.
