Load Details

Sounds good Dick.

For you shooters using a .45-70 using 1.5 KIK or 2F KIK.


My .45-70 is going to be used for the first time for long range at Lodi.
The bullet I will be using is a new money bullet mould from Buff arms that casts a 1.504" long bullet at .444" and I will be using 2F KIK with Win brass and 1.5 KIK with Remington brass.
This bullet came a little longer then I expected.
I feel this bullet is a little long for the .45-70 velocity range, but if some of you are using this bullet please give me a suggested load to start with.
I have some loaded for Lodi with 82 grains if 1.5 K it is a fair load but not good at 2.5-3" @ 200 but I dont have time to get it down where I think it can be.
