Regulation Load Recommendations Please!!
#155516 - 05/03/10 05:54 AM

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on something. I'm looking for a good deer, bear, and hog round for a 45-70 double I'm having built. The builder is recommending Hornady's Revolution 325 grain flex tips. I have nothing against that load, but was wondering if I could match it with a cast bullet load that I would handload.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks for your time!!

Since you are having the rifle built, the builder will be able to tell you WHAT LOAD IT IS REGULATED FOR. Now, it may be possible that it will regulate for other loads too, but only by shooting and trying it, will you know how well it may or may not work for such other loads, for most of the time, different bullets, different bullet weights, different velocities and other things, will all have a bearing on regulation.

I'd go with a 405 grain bullet at about 1850 FPS or a 500 grain at 1500 fps.
