Finally got a chance to go to the range today. Last month worth of weekends were derailed by work and a hurt foot, one or ta other. I had a blast and chrony'd 16 loads. 6 different 45/70 1895G loads one of which was sized to .460 (courtesy Buckshot, size die) and those bullets seriously overshadowed similar or identical loads that were sized .457. Whoa, the difference! With no leading either (Until time to shoot up the 457's I had left.)
The best load was with Lyman 457643 400g FN sized 460 over 41.5g of RX7.
At 10 ft., 10 rounds avg'd 1605 fps
Extreme Spread 67 fps
AVG Dev. 15 fps
~3" at 108 yds with iron peeps. That's outstanding for me with my newish 95G. I'm on my way with that gun, thanks to you guys. Who knows how long I'da continued shooting those 457's? Thanks a bunch.
60 rnds of 45/70 make me shoulder sore. ;>)
