I want to start a collection of pet loads you all run, just so I have a basis for when I begin to load soon. I plan on writing them all down in a notebook as a reference point for the future. With that being said, can you guys share some of your pet loads for two calibers?
Pet loads for the 45-70 and the 7mm08

40.0grs RL7 + 405 Rem - 1500fps
47.0grs RL7 + 350 Hornady FP - 1950fps
Not much recoil on these, great for new shooters and more than enough for killing critters
25.0grs Alliant 2400 + 405gr cast or Rem - very very accurate
28.0grs IMR-sr4759 + 405 cast or Rem or 350gr cast - very very accurate
30.0grs IMR-sr4759 + 300gr cast or 300gr jacketed HP - very very accurate
