DLA-Using H-4198 - 2.5 grains of powder goes from 39,400 CUP to 49,100 CUP.In Velocity it goes from 2002 fps(39,400 CUP) to 2108 fps(49,100 CUP)

I think I can catch that on my chronograph.2,002 fps is a max for the 45-70 Levergun(24 inch barrel) and if you work up slowly you will see on your chrono increases and not to go past this mark.

2.5 grains of powder gives slightly over 100 fps in velocity and about 10,000 CUP in pressure.With a chronograph and good data and of course common sense,there should be know problem in achieving a max load.

Any good Chronograph will tell you if your over 2002 fps period.So I think the chrono will catch it.

Just my opinion you stubborn OLD fart. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />Glad I'm not getting any older or stubborner,must be the climate over there in Oregon,I see Bestlever going off the edge also.

Take care.Jayco.
