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 Eagle that I want to try. Just this morning, I spliced a 2"x6" board to a 2"x8" pine board, for a total of 9&1/2 feet of board to set water jugs on. We are going to have some fun this spring and summer. The 1895 Marlin in .45-70 is addictive. Oh, and I found some Reloder #7 to try also, but I want to use up more of my old IMR-4895 first. Decisions, decisions.
