You ever get closer to OKC? I’ve got a couple unopened lbs of 4198 I’d sell ya for a square deal if you need some. If you can’t find any or something
Man I appreciate it if I don't find any Friday in tulsa will let you know next time be in okc
That 36gr, 3031 is a crazy accurate load out of my 1874 too, no trouble banging the gongs out at 600y. You can even shoot, lift your head and have time to see the splash off the gong and the dust that it brings up off the ground lol.
Wow that's amazing, and with a 400gr bullet?
If you want some light 45-70 loads for plinking.

Yes 405gr remington bulk jacket sp or 405gr cast. I've got a bunch of old cast 480gr spitzer bullets that shot really well also out of that gun.
Awesome thanks for the info
Recovered a hollow point from a deer this year that I took with my 45/70.
Shot was relatively close range, and it was a hot load (Ruger #1 specks).
The hollow nose of the projectile was gone, but it did not mushroom or upset much.
Perhaps as big as a 50 caliber, not much more.
It shattered ribs and cut right through a lot of soft tissue, and the animal went down withing 20 yards or so.
I have had a few go further, but not many.
