I just bought a Henry 45-70 18.5" bbl. and would appreciate some info.
First I have an order of 250 Oregon Trail 350gr. bullets on the way and was reading they should be kept below 1600fps. Well the only powders I have on hand is a couple pounds of H4198 & Varget. Does anyone have any data to get me at 1500 to 1600 fps using those powders? I looked at my Hodgdon manual but no data for that velocity. I'm also gonna try and pick up some RL-7 this weekend. So any load data on RL-7 would be great.
I Also have 100 405gr. bullets (non gas check)on the way and would like to keep them at around 1500/1600 fps.
Or any other recommendations on better powder choices for my goal.
Thanks Bill
