I'd kind of like to have one of those little guns for small game, and plinking. Sounds like you got a good deal.

Those Senecas are great shooters. I've had one in .45 for a few years now and I love it. Been looking for a .36 for a while.

Mine likes 45 grains 3F behind a .440 ball with .15 patches for a target load. 70 grains works pretty well too, but it's a little hard on the .15 patches.

Seems to shoot good with pillow ticking patches also, but I'm still trying to shoot up my supply of premade .15s so I haven't spent as much time with pillow ticking patches.

I hope you enjoy your Seneca as much as I've enjoyed mine!

You were lucky to be in the right place at the right time and carrying a BIG ENOUGH wallet.
You got a good price on her...let us know how she shoots!

How did this topic change from "FINALLY" to "TC Seneca in 36 cal." when I bought a 45?

Congratulation on finding a good seneca I just got one also I have been looking for decades and I also laid away a cherokee as my dealer gave me a really good deal on the both of them. Not to many people have caught onto the black powder firearms so I can usually get a deal when I buy.
MY new one is 1 inch shorter then my first one that I have had for 30 years.
With the cost of powder and such now days I really like shooting the little guys for that matter always did.
