Was at the range shooting 340,405 and 450 grain lead bullets, shoulder killing me. I am new to loaing the 45-70 and relatively new to reloading period by many of your standards. I am looking for loading data for the 45-70 cast lead bullet in 340,405, and 450 grain all are flat nosed no gas checks, and will be propelled out of my Handi-Rifle.:banghead:
Also have Marlin but micro groove barrel and cast bullets how is the leading or if I just keep to the trap door loading should be minimal lead transfer?
340 gr. RNFP cast (Lee MOLD) IMR4227, IMR4064, IMR4198 IMR 4064 best overall 1 1/4 in @ 50 yards
405 gr. RNFP cast (Lee MOLD) Same Powder Handi Rifle didnt like 405 gr. all over paper
450 gr. RNFP cast (Lee MOLD) IMR4227, IMR4064 IMR 4064 best again 1 3/4 in @ 50 yards
shot 5 each practice and 5 for results, wind not a problem, sunny/dry 78 degrees.
