Thanks for the info. Sounds like I need to get a drop tube. I have some .060 fiber wads that I will use with 3f and see what it takes to fill the case.

I know 2f is better for 45-70, but i have Goex 3f on hand. Anybody use 3f for a 405 gr bullet? Any starting loads (by weight) would be appreciated. Will be shooting out of a sharps.

Thanks for the info. I do have 4895 on hand but wanted to see if I get the re-7 to work because I have so much on hand. I am going to load more test rounds to check accuracy and increase charge...

Shot some test rounds today, 55 gr. Cast. Used re-7 at 15.6, 16.0 and 16.5. All loads cycled fine, but none of the loads would lock the bolt back on the last round. Is this kinda normal shooting...

Well I tried my test rounds today and 30 to 32 gr. Loads were to light as the rifle didn't cycle. It would eject the brass, bit not feed the next round. The rifle started cycling with 33.0 gr. Of...

Thanks, I was wondering if they would chamber too. I manually cycled them through my rifle and they did fine. I will find out how they do on Sat.

Here are my test loads. Started at 30 gr. Of imr 4895 And went up to 35 gr., 1 gr. Increments. All with dacron filler. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks for the info. Another question, is a filler a must with this bullet, powder combo?

I am starting to cast and reload for my Garand. I've got a Lee c309-200-r mold, gas checks and IMR 4895. After a lot of searching on this site, I am thinking of a starting load of 30.0 gr of the...

Cast some boolits today and they are measuring .460 to .462. I'm going to pan lube and load some to see what they will do.

I am planning on casting some this weekend to try. I was wondering about the dia. when I bought the mold, but figured the actual dia. would be slightly larger than .457. I wasn't planning on running...

That's for all the info. I will try unique and get some trail boss to try.

Thanks for the info. I was looking for a mild recoil load for punching holes in paper.

First post here. Wondering if anybody is loading 340 gr cast for 45-70? If so, any load data you can share? I have Reloder 7, Unique and Bullseye on hand. I read where some people are using Unique...
