300 grain, 45-70
« on: June 19, 2005, 01:56:36 PM »
Being a teacher, I have too much time on my hands this summer.  While clearing my bench, I found some 300 grain bullets, 0.457".  Sized them to 0.452, patched and loaded them with a VERY liberal dose of IMR 4895 for my #1.  After playing around with seating depth I them to the range.  Kept the last four within 2.5", the 1st seemed to have a mind of its on.    Seemed promising and did it again on another day.  Same story.  May play with it and tweak the load a little.  Figure I'm getting around 2250 f/s.  Once I get it settled in, I'll crony it to see.
