New 50-70 accuracy results
« on: April 27, 2006, 02:16:44 PM »
I hope you guys aren't sick of my 50-70 babble, but thats my new toy right now.  I just shot some new loads, and I am much happier!.  My dies only size the necks to about .514" so most of my available bullets are all but useless.  I do have a 500 grain mold that casts at .515", so I have been hand lubing them to shoot.  I tried a couple of loads with Unique powder, and the oversize bullets shot a .638"  group at 35 yds.!  I went up a grain, and the second group was even better!  It was too dark to chronograph, but the 500's definately kick a little.  This accuracy improvement is awesome!  If anyone hasn't read my previous posts, this is a 6 1/2"  TC barrel.  Thanks for listening.
