Now that I am casting my own 45-70 boolits my groups are improving, plus I am also improving technique as I practice more. These I shot today at 50 yards with my H&R Handi Rifle with a 1-4x scope, Shooting the Accurate 365-RG (Ranch Dog boolit) with "light loads" of IMR3031 (37 to 40gr), and using 1/2" foam as a filler. These were light recoil "and" accurate, at about 1380 fps per QuickLoad:

As I practice more and improve my handloads I hope to get to that elusive ragged hole :)
