Hey folks,
Just joined this group, but I've been creeping on posts as a non-member while I was waiting for my new 1895 SBL 45-70. I now have it, bought all the reloading equipment, mounted my scope, installed WW trigger kit upgrade and range point gate spring, and took it to the range for the first time, yesterday.
I had some powders laying around from other calibers, specifically IMR 4895, and H322. I have read many who are loading H322 with good results. It was definitely the better of the 2 powders. I settled it on 51 gr. H322 with starline brass, CCI 200 primer, and Hornady 350 gr RN. That gave me roughly a 1.5 moa group at 100 yards. I'm happy with that for a hunting load.
Now to the point. My shoulder was pretty raw after bench firing 30+ rounds of similar charges. Do any of you have a pet load for plinking? Preferably something that doesn't kick like crazy?
I appreciate any input. Thanks!
