hello fellow casters
I have a 45-70 Pedersoli
I've been trying to develop a load for this new gun for some time now.I tried different charge powders with triple seven and goex, nothing worked until I tried this load ..My load is 50 gr of triple 7 fffg drop tubed one newspaper wad over powder and a lyman 500 grn lead rnd nose..boolet weighs 530 grns pure lead on the scale sized 459,spg lube.boolet just touches the lands.have 2" groups at 100 yrds,trying for 1" group or better. at that yardage it should hit the same hole but it doesn't..some body at the range told me it needs a harder boolet,well I cast some 50/50 lead/ww.boolets were allot harder.all I got was key holeing..I mean hitting flat on the paper,i could see the grease grooves with no grouping at all...any ideas would be appreciated
