I can't say for certain but I think WLR stands for Winchester Large Rifle. I am thinking that you need "magnum" primers for your particular situation.

The load that produced the 1" three shot group will be the load I use for awhile. I use Starline brass, Federal "Match" primers, and 430 grain hard cast WFN bullets that are gas checked. My bullets...

I apologize for taking so long to respond to your post Mr. waco, but I had to visit with some of your buddy's first. They all agreed that just as long as I was shooting better than you do, I will do...

I went out this morning to test a couple of loads I have developed for my 1895 "cowboy" in .45-70. Here is a photo of my results....

Well you just couldn't help yourself could you Mr. Coot? You simply HAD to tell the truth again. :kidding:

I was finally able to get out this morning and try the White Eagle 410 grain "crater" boolits. This was my first attempt at firing a group from 100 yards. As you can see in the photo, I simply drew a...

I use paper towels for patches, and they work very well for me.

I wouldn't allow any black powder to be shot in my .45-70. That stuff is very corrosive.

I stopped depending on a powder measure at least twenty years ago. All of my loads are weighed. That is correct, I weigh every single load.

The above loads had 43 grains of IMR-3031 behind them. I figure the 430 grain Holiday bullets are moving at about 1400 fps with that load. I now have some 410 grain gas checked bullets from White...

Well I finally got out to shoot a little bit. I tried a penetration test on 13 one gallon jugs filled with water. I didn't get lined up just right and my bullet steadily drifted to the right, and...

Guy's,
I have more test loads ready to go just as soon as the fields dry up enough for me to drive out there. As you know, a man needs to be sure he has a good back stop when shooting the mighty...

What do I look like?

If water is frozen solid, it may be too cold for the coons to be out. They don't travel much when it gets below 20 degrees. I liked to catch my coon in the Fall.

Coyotes don't like to enter live traps. City coyotes maybe, but no the country critters.

It sounds like your bullets are shooting well, and I am betting that you could shoot clean through a ground squirrel iffen you can get close enough. Never mind me, I'm just...

We missed the big hail storm last night, but we got enough rain to make the fields turn to mud. We needed the rain but it shut off my load testing for awhile.

You missed that gopher 12 times? I think maybe you spooked him a bit. [smilie=2:

I am shooting the groups at fifty yards. When I settle on a load, then I will move back to 100 yards. It is not likely that I will be switching powders now that I have...

Well Rick, I'm sneaking up on the 1400 fps now. I have six cartridges loaded with 42.5 grains. [smilie=w:

Well here is today's result with 42 grains of IMR-3031.

Now THAT is good information right there! I will line up 15 of those jugs then, thanks. :D

The recoil is stiff, but not uncomfortable. The horizontal spread in that group was poor trigger control on my part. The trigger has pretty hard pull for...

There is a powder shortage now, remember? Stay tuned to this station and you will soon see 1400 fps with IMR-3031. ;-) Hey, how much powder residue are...
