45-70 and 350gr Hot Cor?

[michsteve]

Speaking off 45/70 bullets did you see the price of the Nosler Ballistic Silvertips. They are around $50 a box now. Glad I bought those factory seconds back around 2017 for under $20.

I’ve held onto both 4198’s like they are gold, for the price they’ll be when they hit the market again it may as well be gold dust. Lol.
I’ve got 5 lbs of LT-32 I’m hoping will be similar. Haven’t tried any in my 45-70 yet. It’s a fine extruded powder between IMR4198 and RL7. Hopefully I’ll be able to try it soon.

Supposedly rl is coming out with rl11? Don't know if it's going to be the 16/23/26 type powder (you know ....more for the greenies) or something close to AA11/AA11fs?

I shot 5 rounds tonight. The first one was to the left 1.75" but the next 4 created a 1.100" group at 50 yards with a 4x scope. Recoil was not bad. That was with 53 gr of IMR3031. I might back it down to 52gr and see what happens. I'm hoping the first one to the left was due to it being the first jacketed bullet down the barrel.

I'd zero to where the first round impacts.

That will likely fill your tag.

BTW, has anyone used any 350a-frames in their marlin 1895's? I have some yet to load.

The 350 Swift A-Frame is the most accurate bullet that I've shot from my 1895SBL. Most bullets shoot good but the A-Frames shoot great. The group below has been repeated many times.

Something WILL be having a bad day on the receiving end for sure!

That's a great load Charlie. I can't think of anything you couldn't hunt with that.
Well done sir.

Accurate, powerful and a very well constructed bullet! You've got a winner there.

I messed around with the 350 Hot Cor and the 45-70 the last few weeks. With 52.0gr of IMR3031 and a 4x scope, I made a clover leaf at 50 yards. From there I put the peep sight on and shot a 1.5" group at 50 yards and at 25 put 3 shots in the same hole. It is shooting at 1750 fps and I caught one in jug #8 last night. The bullet opened up to .7" and was 332gr. The first 3 jugs were destroyed and jugs 4-8 had a big hole in them. I'm confident in the load and rifle at this point!!!

I believe you have an awesome load WT. That load is suitable for anything that doesn’t need a solid in my book.
