Red Dot in 45-70?

[rockrat]

Just wondering if anyone has used Red Dot in their 45-70 for light loads, 1100-1200fps or so. How were the results? I will be using a 335ish grain boolit.
Thanks

13.0 of Red Dot ("the load") gets 1120 fps with the Lee 405 FN in my 22 inch Microgroove Marlin. When their hollowbase version of the same weight is substituted, the deeper seating in the case picks up more velocity, to 1250 fps, just like you'd expect with fast powder and reduced powder space.

Good accuracy.

Thanks, just what I needed to know.

13.0 Red Dot and 405 cast?

Is that Trap Door level pressure?

No, it is not.

Peruse C.E. Harris and he will discuss it at more length.
