bea175:  Ii have used the Beartooth Bullets in my 444s and love them for their accuracy and performance.  I have found the Beartooth loading data to be just excellent.  My suggestion is to go to their website for loading data for that bullet.  If their data for the 45-70 is anything like their data for the 444 (powder selection and charge, oal, velocity and group size)they are providing you with a wealth of loading information available for your immediate use.  I would check their data to see how that bullet performs with 4198.  HTH.  Mikey.

I have already checked the web site but can't find any data for the 425 gr . I have emailed them and waiting for a reply.

Thanks,

bea175:  It may take a few days for Marshall Stanton to get back to ya but when he does I hope he will have the information you are looking for. Good Luck, and let us know what you hear.  Mikey.

bea175, when you get your reply, would you mind posting your data?  I am interested in load data for that bullet also.
