I am loading 45-70 and am using 27 grains of 5744. I get good accuracy in all of my rifles
The velocities I am getting are as follows.
Manual 24 inch barrel 1200
1885 Browning/Winchester with a 28 inch barrel yields a velocity of 1300 apx.
1902 rolling block 30 inches 1400
Shilo Sharps 32 inches 1500
I use trapdoor loadings there is no reason to subject myself to more recoil.
Do these seem in line and will the pressures be equivalent?
If I go 32 grains in the Shilo velocity is 1700.
