Went to the range to see which was the best 45/70 mold! there was ammo loaded with 51.3g IMR 4895 and Lyman 300 g .459, Lee 405 HB, Lee 450 GC and Lee 500g spire point. The 300 was high at 50 yds about 3" and I am out of room on my sight to adjust but had a 1.5" group, the 405 was right on and a little high in the 9 ring on a 3" target, the 450gc was dead on and center, the 500g didn't do very good, key holed in my Sharps and just ok in the Buffalo Classic.
The load was stiff but not as bad as t M48 and Turk ammo, three loads were keepers. Over all a very enjoyable day.
Doesnt matter which were best as I will change something just to see if it works. I shot 70 rounds in two rifles over a three hour period.
