Just to some up the final bit of research:

Yes, the straight walled case must make a big difference as I can't see how Beartooth would publish these loads and claim that they are below 40K...

Looks like Beartooth bullets has a pile driver 525 grain bullet that they say will feed in a Marlin Lever action.

How far does the 483 bullet seat into the case ?

Thank you

Good stuff, was hoping for a seating depth greater than the Mattsbullets .828 for the 510 grain .458 bullet.

Really appreciate your help, thank you

What does your NEI bullet measure from the crimp groove to the base of the bullet please?

Thanks

Yes, this bullet would be seated deeply into the case. Going to hold off loading any until I can get some feedback from someone who has loaded this actual bullet or a 500-550 grain bullet with the...

Looking at the Lyman 50th Book they have a 45 70 trapdoor load with a 500 cast bullet with a max of 34 grains of Reloader 7 for published 1284 fps and 15,100 CUP.

They do not have any data for a...

Matt's bullets has a gas check 510 grain that looks like it may cycle in a Marlin 45 70 Guide Gun.

This should work well as I used to shoot 6.0 grains with a 240 cast SWC and it was mild.
I now shoot 8.0 grains of 231 with a 240 SWC in a lever action rifle and it has quite a bit more recoil than...

Spent a little time shooting at the range today.

I have been using 13 grains of Trail Boss with a 405 grain cast bullet. The kids love it as the recoil is very mild and we are only shooting at 35 yards. We hit most of the targets we are aiming at....

That is very generous of you , thank you.
The good news is that I forgot that I had a copy Pet loads and there it was on the shelf. It shows a load for a 309 grain cast bullet starting with 48...

Greatly appreciate it, thank you

Going to try and find a copy of the Lyman Ideal Manual

Thanks for the reply. Will do the majority of the shooting with the 13-14 grain trail boss load with 300 grain cast. NO PLANS to load at current 1886/1895 levels and in fact will not even load a...

Thanks for the reply. If Varget has low pressure suitable trapdoor loads in the 45 70 case , would that same load have less pressure in the longer 45 90 case?

On the Hodgdon website for 300 grain...

Have a Winchester 1886 made in 1894 and trying to find a varget load for the 45 90 with a 300 grain and 350 grain cast boolit.

Trying to find a load the duplicates the original BP velocity of 1450...
