45-90

[Gunlaker]

I've had good results with OE 1.5 in greasers, but am convinced that for patched bullets that my Swiss loads are working just a little better. But I have put more work into them.

I like OE 1.5 quite a bit. I recently tested my old Shiloh LRE in .45-70 with 70gr of OE 1.5 and the Baco 459530m4 bullet which seats way out. It shot well at just under 800 yards but not quite as well at 900. It wasn't nearly as clean as my OE 1.5 load in the .40-65, but I might try a little compression. It's only about 0.1" at the moment. The velocity was even higher than I expected, and I've been playing with this stuff for a while.
