The load shoots 3/4" at 100 yards with a scope and under an inch with open sites at 50 yards. They can say whatever thet want about it not being a good match but it and 3031 works good for me. I have used thousands of rounds of these loads in a half dozen 45-70s and they all shot them well. Realistically I never checked for unburnt kernels but I wouldn't quit using it if I found some.
