I forget the exact load but it was a full case of 3031 with a 405grn boolit. In my BC it sure woke me up. Kinda like hitting a steel column with an iron bar. put that load in the done that list and wont be going back there again.

Wow, that seems stiff. My .45-70 load with a 420 gr boolit is 40 gr 3031. It works and all my teeth stay in place.
