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….
I'm poster boy for that. I run 37 grains of 3031 behind a cast 405
