TankerHepburn Creedmore info?
I'm looking for info on the Remington Hepburn Long Range Creedmore. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Tanker:
Are you looking for historical information or physical? There is information on the Hepburn in DeHass' books, Grants books, "The Breech Loading Single Shot Rife" by Roberts/ Waters and a number of others.

BrentCheck out Grant's first book on Singleshot rifles. Apparently there was a military version of the Creedmore Heppie. 44 2 6/10ths

TankerThere was a musket version but this is the standard long range Creedmore version listed in Flaydermans. Mine only differs from the photo in that it has a single trigger and does have the rear sight mount on the butt.

Brentthere has been a discussion of brass for this somewhere recently. .45 basic was suggested, but .45-100 from a number of different sources would be cheaper and easier.
Slug the bore and measure the land diameter, and we can help you formulate a load for paper patched bullets, etc.
