Guys, pulling together everything for casting for my 45/70. Turning now to lube, which I'd like to make. I'm not a tinkerer - my aim is to develop one load that will cover elk and northern, larger whitetail out to 200 yards, with my 45/70 1895 guide gun. I've the 425 grain gc from Accurate coming, pushing it to about 1600 fps, gas-checked, and everything is falling into place.
So, among the lube recipes here and elsewhere, what's your fave for your big bore pushed to 1600, or equivalent? So far I've looked at both Ben's Red (and have the stuff for it) and Blue, and MML. And learning on an ongoing basis, of course.
I'll likely be lubing in an RCBS. I do know I won't be using LLA/tumble lubing. Powder coating is the next learning area.
Many thanks, all.
