Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 500's in the 1895 45-70

You won't be disappointed with a good 400 gr jacketed bullet like the Speer, over 53 gr of IMR 3031 at about 1850-1900 FPS.

That's an old Elmer Keith load that I've used for years.

Also, don't be a hero..............put a recoil pad on that 1895.
