Hey all,

I am looking for a load for the 45-70 with a 300 Gr. Nosler Partition. I have the 5th Edition Nosler manual and am limited to the 5 powders listed. I was wondering if anybody has any data using IMR3031 or IMR4320 powder? Right now I am using the IMR 4198, but would like to test the two previously mentioned powders.
Thanks,

Jon

    You might try 28.0 gr of 2400 Pwd with the 300 gr bullet. 2400 is relatively fast burning and should work well with 16" barrel. This is not a hot load and gives 1533 fps in my 22" barrel rifle.
