I just recently scoped my enfield no1 mk3 in 45-70. I’ve got some nosler 300gr orange tipped ballistic tips I got from Wes awhile back, so I figured what the hell, here we go.
2.705” COAL (.020” off the lands)
I talked to Nosler, and they said this is the same bullet they use in their sabot muzzle loader rounds, and that optimum impact velocity is 1200fps to 1800fps. So I pulled 3 loads out of the Hornady book that are supposed to be going 1800fps. IMR 3031, RL7, and my personal 45-70 favorite IMR4198.
