Hodgdon typo?
So I'm loading for my 1895sbl. I've got a bunch of hornady's 325.ftx bullets and ive had some success with h4198 (45.9 g and my shoulder says they're hotter that the factory rounds) butter zone groups and an inch or so above factory out to about 150 yds. But I'm told I should use h322. Figured I'd give it a shot. So Hodgdon's site lists a load with h322 to a max of 2250fps with a 24 inch barrel. Call it 2075 in my stubby silver gg. Problem is they list the cartridge trim at 2.10 rather than 2.040. I believe it is a typo. I shot an email to Hodgdon and I'm waiting a response. Any thoughts?

2.10" was the standard 45/70 case length from when it was designed/put into US military service in 1873 (or thereabouts).
It still is the recognized case length, except for Hornady's newish 'Zombie' (or whatever trendy name they call it) ammunition. |
If you compare brass from Leverevolution 45/70 with regular fodder, it is shorter.

Yes. Le brass is shorter. By .060 problem is Hodgdon lists their load data for the 325g ftx - the leverevolution bullet - as being loaded in standard length brass. Hence my belief this is a typo.
btw still haven't heard back from Hodgdon yet. Colin |
