I want to develop some loads for a Shiloh Sharps in 45-70. I want to try paper patching, but also want to do some work with the Gould grease groove bullet with the goal of using it for whitetails in Nov... I have loaded target loads several years ago in a 45-70 with blackpowder and used enough crimp to keep the bullet in place...anyone have experience with the Gould? Has anyone had success with or without a crimp... I will be compressing the charge and using an over powder wad. Thinking of starting around 70 grs of Swiss, but will get a better idea once I start the process to see where the compressed load works with bullet fit.
thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.
Kindest regards,
