Shot my 45-70 Pedersoli today with some 405gr 20:1 over 58 grain 1.5 Swiss.
.060 Veggie wad and .125 compression. Grouped 1 3/8"x 1 7/8 at 100 yards and opened up to 2' x 3 1/4 at 150 yards. 457132 grouped about the same with 53 grain of the Swiss.
Also shot the 1873 32-20 and grouped about 5x6 at the 150 mark. Not to terrible with having a rear sight with the tiniest v-notch I have ever seen and an average bore for the age.
I did shoot he 45-70 with 5744 ...but for the life of me can't find my load data for powder weight with the 405 grain 20:1.
All in all......sure beats work.:-D
