That!! is the one that I would use... without hesitation... And I would shoot a big ole 45-70 bullet, just like the old days.

GFP requires 2200 ft pounds minimum. My program doesn't have a 52 cal listed

I have this ballistic sheet on file for a 460 grain bullet with 90 grains of T7. If I am getting 1500 with 90 and 460, I am betting you will get in the 16-1650 fps with the 375 if not more..



But, wait I Shot some .475-350 grain Lehigh's from my 52, but the information is on my other computer... I'll switch and get back to you...

Look at this bullet... there is also a 350

The ones that are barely legal normally are a lot of fun... Soooo. that is something you should consider.

This will get you started thinking... but, after looking this up I think you are going to get close to 1800fps... that would give you in the neighborhood of 2600 lbs @ the muzzle



ballistic sheet for a 375 grain bullet.



Also with a .458-300 grain Lehigh you would get 2300 lbs of energy at the muzzle.
