45-70 Lee 459-500-3R Smokeless Load Suggestions - Sharps

[CommanderD]

Hello All, New to the forum and thought I would ask questions about loads for the Lee cast boolit. Looking for subsonic loads accurate to 300 yards. Lead hardness suggestions and any thoughts that pop up. I just bought a Pedersoli Sharps and have located 40 pieces of brass. Would like to find 100 pieces more. Crazy hard to find brass. Thanks for whatever wisdom you could sprinkle my way....dave

Welcome to the madness of BPCR. I have no experience with the Lee mold you have referenced but for the price it is worth trying. There is a wealth of information in the files here about making Lee molds work well. Have you considered using black powder??

I was a muzzle loader hunter for 20+ years. Thought I would play with smokeless first than climb into the BP. I'll look at the link you provided. Thanks Chill...dave

Chill....Just ordered 50 pieces from Maverick. Thank you for the source. I had done 3-4 Google searches and clicked on a lot of links with no success.
