50/70 bullets

[Mike]

Once again I thank your for those details. The load I'm using with the Lyman or the Lee bullets, with those bullets seated to cover all lube grooves, is 65 grains (by volume) us Olde Eynsford 2f plus a Walters' .060" veggie wad and I have not sent any across the chronograph yet. However, I am expecting to get about 1250 fps out of my new gun's 26" barrel. That remains to be seen, however, because I'm looking for good groups at this time. We have some local bpcr matches at short ranges and that's where my .50/70 will see its first duties. Shoot sharp, Mike
