[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1170763, member: 10178"] When learning about Black Powder loading it pays to learn from around 200 or so years of experience. Mainly FFFG does not shoot as accurately as FFG or cartridge grade in big cases like the 45-70. Black powder must be compressed a little to really work well. Velocity over the speed of sound will not be as accurate at long range as velocity under the speed of sound. Keeping those 500+ gr bullets around 1100 fps muzzle velocity or a little under is what you want. The fellows that shoot BP silhouette have really got it down to a science. Many have tried to re-invent the wheel but usually find out that the round one usually works best. :D [/QUOTE]
