Just got a new No 1 Sporter in 45-70.
Looking at the latest load data from the major players, I am looking at trying the two 4198 powders (IMR and Hodgdon), IMR 3031 and RL-7.
Bullet choice... probably Hornady in either the 300 or 350 grain FN.
For those of you who have loaded any of the above powder/bullet combinations, any feedback on performance and accuracy loads would be appreciated.
Hodgdon/IMR list two of the highest powder loads compared to anyone else (H4198 at 63.0 grains and IMR 4198 at 58.5 grains behind Sierra 300 grain bullets). If anyone has tried either of these I would be interested in those results.
Thank you.
