Got a 45/70 conversion from Jeff I’ve got some Speer .451 diameter 45 caliber 260 Gr jacket hollow points that I would like to play with before I start shooting my expensive bullets. I’ll be using IMR4198 what’s a good starting point. I shot these same bullets years ago in a Knight BK92 with black powder it was more accurate than my centerfire rifle.
Thanks for your help
Eddie

Thanks for your help Eddie What are you planning on using for your "expensive" bullets? Either way, I'd go with 65 grains. Most people on here are shooting lights out with these guns using a 275 grain bullet, 65 grains of IMR4198, with or without a wad. I'd recommend a wad. Don't go higher than 65 grains. |

I’ve got both 275 Parker BE and 275 Fury’s I’m going to follow Jeff’s recommendations on charge just going to use the 260’s as a learning tool to save a little money and supplies.

This may be important to you even a long ways off till hunting seasons again but there were some excellant reviews given on bullet preformance in a couple earlier posts . Might want to look them up °!!! Many loads were shared too . Enjoy that rifle . Almost forgot to say theres a ton of info on that rifle in the past post library on here . Its a true treasure to look through . |
