OK I have been shooting my 45/70 Roller Origional Number 5 Receiver and a Green Mountain Barrel. my load was 43 grains of 3031 for what I was guessing was around just over 1500 fps as I felt my bullet was as cast in the 405 range. Mould is the Lee hollow based one that drops them at .459. I run them through a Lee .459 sizer and lube with Lee Liquid Alox. I was shocked to find out after I weighed them that they are running around 375 grains? Now I guess I do not have an issue with the weight but now I know I will have to pull them and try a new load as I am sure these were probably going too fast for that bullet design. I will now have to figure out a load that is below 1500 since the bullet is lighter. Probably get better groups now too as they were about 4 inches at a 100 yards. I know I should be able to do better with a Green Mountain barrel. Now finding out the bullets are light I think I was pushing them too fast. What do you guys think what would 30+ grains difference make speed wise?
