BP is used in quarrying of marble and granite that is slabbed as BP is a low exp and doesnt produce fractures in the stone that high exp does. I have heard from old timers that there was several grades and manufactures of BP . danny

This has always worked for me it doesnt get in the way of spurring or roping and so long as the muzzle is above his belly line it wont hang up going over blowdowns. Danny

I keep the butt of the rifle at about the top of the horses hip bone and if Iam going up real steep country I will use a leather string. I tried butt forward but it interfered with spurring, even chasing a cow and tossing a loop I havent lost a rifle, I'll see if I cant find a photo. danny

Any of those would work I carry mine sights up butt to the rear on the right side of the horse, always have the rifle on the off side that you dismount from no hang ups if you have to get off quick. Ive carried rifles this way for years working cows and hunting, never had any problems. danny
