I think everybody has to hot rod a .45-70 at least a little. I mean, it’s not like anybody buys one because they don’t recoil. My current load is a REM 405 and 50 grains of 3031 out of my #1. About 1800fps.

It’s accurate and will likely flatten anything in TN, but when I run out of them, it’ll probably get weaned over to 400’ish cast about 300fps slower.

Funny how somewhere in your 40’s hot rodding gets less important….
