Today at the Bench.....

Interesting outcome.
I got some 45-70 brass from a guy someplace with some other brass . The head separation was just age and brass fatigue . I doubt the loads were much over 18kpsi . A 530 gr RCBS 45-500 FP from a 1895G at 935-945 and 1045 fps . There were 2 loads of 5 ea but I had gremlins in the man cave that mixed them together. The 940s I think were 35 gr of 4831 , Ken Waters published, and the 1040s were 9 gr of Unique. The Rem-UMC brass is seen sans rim and head .
The interesting part isn't the fabulous group , I blame the operator and shooting both open through an FP 95 that shows the front hood well inside rear halo . What is interesting is it looks like the rifling lands cut clean where they were tipped out .
