Author Topic: Need 45/70 load data (Read 346 times)

While visiting Texas I ran across a deal on IMR 4895.

Not having any load data books with Me I relied on My memory.

That was My first mistake. :oops:

Anyone have load data for a 405 grain lead bullet using IMR 4895?

After getting home and looking, I found I should have bought IMR4198 or H4895.

Oh well I'm sure I can use it in something else.

I'm citing this as it comes from this above mentioned load book, as to cover myself.
I have copied this down here to the best of my college educated abilities.

Here they are:
405 grn. Rem bullet----52.5 grns. IMR 4895-----1785 fps---25"barrel----26,900CUP

With the lead bullet, if gas-checked, it should be in the ball-park with the Rem..

Well, as it happens actually, that is the only load I have, but hope it helps.

The free IMR load book shows a MAX load of 52.5 of IMR4895 with 2.56 overall length using a Winchester 405 grain Soft point bullet.

It also states that the load should NOT be used in trap door rifles. The pressure indicated is 26900 CUP.

That is a trapdoor load according to their web site...
