Nice- what's that load, again

That one is 29.0 of Rx7, bullet is Accurate mold 46-305C, Lyman Lubed, sized at .459, with a thumbnail size pinch of lint filler. I'll definitely be making more of these!

Another nice load shot saturday, 1210.1fps ave. at 50 yards.

Here are some loads I tested a few days ago.  I notice that my Cheycast Hi-tek coated bullets tend to have a higher velocity that Missouri Bullet hardcast lead when using the same charge.  But I don't have the direct comparison here.

Hi,
first of all,i am a new member from Luxembourg/Europe and visited a lot this forum to receive info about loading the 45-60.I received my Uberti 1876 last week,so i tested my new rifle during 2 days with 300grs plated bullets without having great succes.I switched today to a 420grs bullet (RCBS 405grs GC),alloy 1/2 +2%,.459",65yards,Ginex LP,Starline brass, 21grs Lovex D060 (5744).10 shots went into 1,1".Vo 1152fps,SD 8,5 ES 24,6 .The rifle seems to like the heavy bullets!Further tests will follow at the 100 and 200m range.
