Accuracy/Velocity Info

[Don McDowell]

You need to get the velocity with that postel up over 1200 if you can do so and keep the accuracy.
I have come to favor bullets at 480-500 grs for the 45-70. Their length seem to be better suited to the horsepower available from the powder charge in a 45-70 case.

Also if you take a look back at what the old dead guys mostly used, with a few exceptions , if the powder charge wasn't above 100 grs the bullet weight didn't go over 500. Just something to chew on.

Welcome to the forum, that's some good looking country you're standing in.
