Default RE: 45-70 Suggestions

ORIGINAL: statjunk

Pavo,

I've already purchased the IMR 3031 and since I'm on a limited budget I'm going to stick to that. I'm going to try to find the Lyman Cast Bullet Manual.

I looked through the Nosler Book that I have and it didn't help much since it only speaks to the Nosler 300gr jacketed bullet that they sell. Makes sense I guess since it's their book. I do have a Lyman Reloading Manual but it's the one that came with my press. It doesn't cover the bullet grains that I purchased from Tommy at Leadheads.

So does the Lyman Cast Bullet Manual cover all of the various grain bullets for the .45-70?

Thanks

Tom
IMR3031 is the best powder IMO you can pick for your 300gr bullet. So slow, its easy to work up a load, and not worry. In fact, you might hit compressed loads before you go over safety pressures.
