9.3x57,

Thanks for the welcome.

Most of my work has been at 25 and 50 yards because I've been experimenting with different sights at the same time. In fact, I haven't shot my 45-70 over 50 yards at paper. But I can ring the steel at 100 every time. The 45-70 put 350 grain Hornady's into less than 1 3/4" at 50, all day long. I've screwed that up by trying to work up loads with the 405 remington fp's. The 30-06 with hornady 220's is a less than 1" at 50 all day long. I can't seem to find my 100 yard targets right now but will look later. If I remember correctly, I was within 3" at a 100 from a rest. I haven't shot the rifle in quite a while.

I got the 30-06 as soon as they were available in early 2008. That's when I started lurking here. I hadn't been able to post here (don't know what the problem was) and just noticed I could, today! I got the 45-70 in the summer of 2008 and had stopped working with the 30-06 then. I've been posting on the AR forum periodically and have seen some members refer to them here. A search over there may come up with my targets and loads, I'm sure.

Mike
