Hi all. I have a few questions. I hope others can help me with.
Here is what I am doing.
C Sharps 34" barrel 45-70
Using the BACO 540 gr .443 PP money bullet.
Winchester LR primers
81 gr. of Old Ensford f1.5 I am using OldEnsford 1.5 because that is what I have. I see most people seem to be using swiss. f1 or f1.5
2 ea. .030 LDPE wads because I don't have the.060 ones.
Remington fireformed cases.
#9 onion skin paper.
When using 81 gr of powder dropping it down a 32" drop tube I can't get the case to accept the full charge of powder without spilling out, so I almost fill the case compress it then fill the rest of the powder. install the wad and compress again to what I need. (A question on compression also.) Am I doing something wrong?
Is anyone using Old Ensford in their 45-70 PP?
Just wondering what compression are you using and what is your finished bullet & case OAL? I read where Goex needs more compression then swiss?
I have been seeing loads with using Swiss but nothing really on using Goex Old Ensford and it seems with Goex it anywhere from .150 to .200 compression????
I am trying to get some accurate loads with what I have on hand.
Thanks
