45/70 load

[devster55]

Hey guys I'm having trouble finding powder. I have a few lbs of IMR 4895 but can't find data for a 350 gr RN I've tried hodgons, hornady, and my Nosler manual. Any help is appreciated. I'm shooting this out of a 1895 marlin guide.

Not sure where you were looking but
Hornady manual #3 IMR4895-44.7grs= 1400fps and max 56.9grs= 1900fps
Hornady Manual#2 IMR4895 44.3grs=1300FPS and max 50.6= 1600fps
Hornady Manual #1 IMR4895 same data as manual #2

All the above loads are with a Hornady 350 jacketed round nose bullet.

Hope that helps you out.---Doug

What a cannon!

I was looking in the latest hornady manual.

I have that same rifle and have found the addition of a limbsaver recoil pad a good investment. I shoot mostly the 405 grain lead.

405's& 1900fps that's got to be a crowd pleaser!

Where did you find 405s

Bear creek bullets has the 405 lead.

OP---Sorry I do not have the new book just the 3 I gave the info out of. It should still be good info.

I was just saying that i was looking for 4895 data in my new book and there was none. The old data will work just fine. Thank you very much. I loaded them with 56 gr 4895 with a magnum primer due to the cold weather i will be shooting them in. I dont know if the magnum primer will make that big of a difference.

Hornady 3rd edition says 44.7-56.9 gr of imr 4895 so you are close but most makers suggest less powder for magnum primers than with standard so you are pushing it with 56 gr. Good luck on the trip.

Amen to that Brother!
I took my 1895 out the day I got it and the next day took it down to get a decent pad on it.
Makes it from an "Ouch" that was cool to an "AHHHH" that didnt hurt.

Maybe I will pull them and use lrp not mlrp.

[koehn,jim]

Please do, start down and work up.

[devster55]

Im doing so as we speak. Im gonna use the same load just with lrp. I had a problem with my seating die crushing cases last night. it crushed 6 cases. I guess im gonna have to clean up the case mouths better with my deburring tool. We are hunting wyoming this year and its going to be cold but im sure the lrp will work just fine.

So I checked hogdons website again and there is load data for it. they are calling for 61 grains of 4895 as max load. so im going to pull them down and got to about 58 grains.
