Need load for 45/70 gov't
- Thread starter safety
- Start date
I'm using the 300 grain Partition with 57.5 grains of AA2015 and a 22" Marlin 1895 with pretty good results for my elk load.
THIS IS A HOTTER LOAD.
As with any load, you should work up from the bottom. The low for this powder, listed in the 5th edition manual is 54.0 grains of AA2015.

Take a look at H4198. I'm using it to move a 350 grain bullet at 2120 fps from a 22" Marlin and am well short of max with that load.
I haven't tried it with a 300 grain bullet, but Hodgdon lists some impressive velocity for the 300 grainer and H4198. Nosler's 300 grain Partition has an excellent reputation - although I haven't gotten around to using it myself.
Pretty funny, thinking of a 300 grainer as a "light" bullet for this cartridge! But it is! :grin:
