The best I have made so far in my Marlin 1895 is using 50.5 grains of Varget to push a 405 grain as well as a 360 grain cast bullet. I am getting two to three inches at 100 yards. I have heard 4198 being used a lot but my test loads are not as good as the Varget that I am running out of.
I am not getting the accuracy for which I hoped. This is after doing the usual preparations I know from jacketed bullet loading.
I have seen some great shot groups on this page. Is anyone wiling to share a favorite 45-70 load and why it is so good?
