I have worked up some loads for .45-70 with WC 844 and WC 680.
I have taken care of the inconsistent velocities and have good hunting range accuracy, 1 + " at 50 yds, with my Handi rifle with a 2.5x pistol sight, from a rest.
I am getting 1800fps + with a 320gr RF GC, using WC 844, 55gr and a dacron filler.
I am also getting 1800fps +with WC 680, 40 gr, dacron and the same 320gr RF GC bullet.
Both of these loads hit at the same point with the same sight settings.
These loads are as much as I feel comfortable with, 64gr WC 844 , at 2100fps, worked fine, but had me slobbering on the stock after about 10 rounds.
Just getting soft in my old age!
