AND...they all went bang! I’m happy since I had never loaded 45-70 before. And the rifle survived...
My goal was around 1900fps for speed. And since the temperature was -5c, there should be faster speed when we get above 15c. Next on the agenda, another 50 test rounds with 48.5, 49.0, 49.5, 50.0, and 50.5 grains of the IMR4198.
And the buckhorn sights really suck. I have Skinner peeps coming. So relief soon.
Accuracy for the Campro 300gr......not sure yet. The sights are so bad, that I can’t judge the accuracy yet. I’ll let you know. |
That's gotta be CHAS
I am still trying to get thru the 50 I loaded for my SBL 5 years ago. Boy that thing bucks.. You will like the peeps, HUGE improvement. That is what I have on mine now. I did have a vortex venom on it for a while. It looked stupid but was pretty functional.
We need to do a lot of shooting before we need to do any reloading but .... I did put a couple if inline mirrors on the 650 so I could keep an eye on the feeders. Not very exciting I know .... but it's something, right??
