[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 1289232, member: 96274"] Ok I know the 45-70 isn't really a long range cartridge but it's the next on my list for load development...and I love it, sort of a novelty thing. Anyway did a search and I didn't come up with a whole lot. So far I'm thinking IMR 4198 or H 4198 seem to be the top performers in this cartridge. I'm not looking to go too crazy but I'd like to get around 2200-2300 fps with 350 gr bullets. So what are some good loads you have used? Also what are some of the better bullets you have used? And expanding vs penetrating? I did like the performance of the factory hornady 325 gr ftx but the factory ammo was slow and I read that you have to trim the case short to accommodate the slightly longer bullet so I don't think I wanna go that route. I have some combined technology 300 gr and speer hot core 350 gr on the way to first play with. Thanks for any help guy's [/QUOTE]
