Hornady .45-70 LE
« on: January 29, 2009, 02:26:05 AM »
Now that Hornady .45-70 Leverevolution 325 gr. bullets are available, can anyone tell me how to load them to match the 2050 fps. of the factory loads?  My rifle is sighted in for them and I don't want to change anything.

Here's Hornady's data for it, but 2050fps isn't what you'll get in a 22" barrel from the factory ammo, it's rated at 2050fps in a 24" XLR, those that have shot it in the H&R 24" SS Ultra Hunter get just over 2000fps.
