Got to have a shot out of my Pedersoli Silhouette 45/70 over the long weekend ,with its loooooooong 32 inch barrel !! i tried a load [smokeless as im not really set up for black powder yet ] from loading manual, 40 grs AR2208 ,Federal primer ,Hawkebury River 405gr lead ,i have tried this load before in my Marlin 45/70 and the problem is incomplete burning of the powder, alot of fouling and unburnt powder granules [should have known better ] anyway after several shots, then blackening the silver front sight and trying different reading glasses as my eyesight is getting bad [getting old ]and cheating using the Lead sled to avoid my heartbeat ,at 100 metres i could get shots into one inch ! provided i put a patch through the barrel after each shot to remove all the fouling ,so i was very happy with it !!! ,i was impressed with it!!! i should have brought other loads with me to try ,but ran out of time,the loads were on target in the black at 100 Metres [even more of a wonder !!!] The workmanship on my rifle is perfect in every respect and its accurate too, with the first load i have tried in it ,so you cant ask anymore than that !!!!




If you can get Benchmark - I think in Australia, Hodgdon's Benchmark is ADI Benchmark 2 - a load of 48.0gr. in my Sharps (35"bl.) makes 1,850fps with 405gr. RP's and put 10 rounds into 7/8" off the bags. I have a Soule Tang sight and Sharps Aperture sight. This load is only running about 22,000CUP according to Hodgdon's Annual Manual. Good powder burn and nicely accurate, I'd say. 1,850fps is noted to be about maximum for good bullet performance with the quite soft Remington 405gr. FN.
