Quote:Hello Daryl_S
Is that IMR or Hodgdon's powder, buckstix?
I just noticed in loading the .45/70 Lever guns with 350gr., there is quite a difference between them in both starting and maximum loads.
I see Hodgdon lists 49.0gr. H4895 in the .450 3 1/4" Modern Sharps chambering at 1,903fps. They did not list IMR4198 in this ctg. length.
Thanks for the reply.
When I record powders without a prefix letter, its IMR. I only list "H" when its a Hodgdon powder.
Similar loadings with IMR 4198 are listed in the Graeme Wright book, "Shooting the British Double Rifle" albeit 52 grains. I always stay conservative so I loaded only 50 grains.

That'll do!
Looks like a fun gun.
Versatile too.
When do you get started on the single projectile load for the smooth bore barrel?
Get it set up to put the balls on the bullet group.
Too much fun!
Thanks for the reply.
Maybe the next outing to the range.
