45-70 load for Hawkesbury River 405gr

[Grnn]

Anybody been loading the 405gr Copperhawkes for a 45-70 Marlin 1895 or equivalent?

I'm looking at an ADI powder for mine.

Cheers.

Go to the ADI site.

Yoo many ask that sort of question here, one day some d**khead is going to give his "favourite buffalo killing, croc handbag making,pigs ear" load which will blow up in your face, so always get loads from the makers charts.

I have been guilty of giving info myself. But who am I ? I could be as stupid as the worst.

Be Safe BB

BB, not chasing someone's secret recipe, I should have been clearer in the post - how well do these shoot, what powders work best, what speed provides best accuracy? This is a reloading forum after all.

The manuals give you the recipe not how well it shoots.

Ammunition, just like Mumma used to make

Dinner at your house must have been interesting Herdsman, we just got mutton roast!

You know that scene in the A-Team where he is seasoning the steak on the BBQ which shotgun shells?

Not a movie... That was a few minutes of home footage
