Couple Questions on BC 45-70 shooting the Remington 405 factory loads.
« on: November 30, 2010, 06:11:23 AM »
Just got a BC 45-70 and for what I want it for, I couldn't have asked for better! About 15 years ago my eyes started dimming some. Until then I only shot open sights. My eyes got such that after 25 yds things get a little blurry. I got the BC 45-70 with the intention of scoping it, but when I shot it at 25 yds using the 405 Remingtons I was an inch left and an inch high. If anyone can tell me shooting the 405s out of the BC if I'm hitting an inch high at 25 yds where does that leave me at 50 yds? Thanks for any input.

That bullet is still risin' and will be even higher at 50. Im thinking maybe about on at 75ish and a tad low at 100.
