AND...they all went bang! I’m happy since I had never loaded 45-70 before. And the rifle survived...



My goal was around 1900fps for speed. And since the temperature was -5c, there should be faster speed when we get above 15c. Next on the agenda, another 50 test rounds with 48.5, 49.0, 49.5, 50.0, and 50.5 grains of the IMR4198.

And the buckhorn sights really suck. I have Skinner peeps coming. So relief soon.

Accuracy for the Campro 300gr......not sure yet. The sights are so bad, that I can’t judge the accuracy yet. I’ll let you know.

You should like the skinners. I love shooting my 45-70 although my new one has XS sights my old one had the winged Skinner with Skinner front blade that I shot extremely well out to 200 yds. I.Generally load imr 3031 or varget for full power loads but, red dot or unique makes for a dandy light plinking load.

Nice rifle BTW
