Hey all.
Hope everyone's feeling good.
I'm planning to work up a hunting load in 45-70 and I'm not wanting to waste many bullets finding a good load. Looking for good velocity and accuracy . this is obviously a simple load work up except the bullets are $2 each and I'd like to get an ideal load in as few shots as possible.
If you've got some load data for 45-70 using these bullets -
Please help me out with it if possible. Modern Lever action loading are what I'm looking for, rifle is a modern single shot with a 25" barrel.
Possibly useful powders on hand are:
Imr4198
Imr4227
2400
Leverevolition (not sure on this one)
If I need to try to locate another powder I will but it would need to be clearly better than what I've got laying around. I'd prefer to use the imr4198 if possible.
Any help or data would be appreciated. Will mostly be for whitetail but if I get the chance to hunt something larger I don't want to have to go back to the drawing board.
Thanks!
