Hi all!
New member here!
Had the chance to take out a new to me Rossi 92 carbine in 44-40 this past weekend. It's an older Interarms import (pre 99) that had very little, if any, use before I recently got it!
Had a blast plinking at shotgun clays on the hillside with my 44-40 black powder rounds in winchester cases (3F Goex, 200 grain bullets); very satisfying 'boom' sound and very accurate as well! Clean up was a snap as that bottle neck case kept the fouling out of the receiver.
I wish Rossi did these in 38-40 as well; I bet that would be a fun black powder shooter also!

Re: Rossi 92 with black powder!
Now that’s something I’ve never seen. How many rapid shots before you can’t see through the smoke?

With a slight breeze, you're ok. A still/calm morning with high humidity in the forest; now that requires the Force to be with you to see after 2 or 3 shots!
Any other '92 black powder shooters out there?

Re: Rossi 92 with black powder!
I have run Blackhorn 209 through my 45 Colt, not quite as much smoke but not a tedious clean up either. The straight wall case doesn't do a lot to keep debris out of the action and I hate taking it apart.
