[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2580477, member: 26077"] Pretty darn good for open sights at 100 yards. With the 4198, try slowing the load to 1300 work up to to 1500 fps. Never been that fond of 4198, in 45 70, seems to have a very narrow velocity range where it is accurate. If you have 3031, that is my all time favourite in the 45 70 for 350 and 400 grain bullets. Have also found 4227 pretty good. See pictures first page. Those are pretty common groups out of a variety of guns using similar loads, these were scooped, not open sights. I find it easier to evaluate load accuracy/groups using a scope. [/QUOTE]
