Last night I loaded up some 45-70 test loads for my enfield SMLE. R-P nickel brass, Nosler 300gr Ballistic Tips and IMR4198. The best I’ve gotten this bullet to shoot so far is 2.5” at 100yds. I’m bumping up the powder charge weight quite a bit to see if it will reign the groups in a bit. Ive got to be careful because nosler says that max impact velocities for this bullet is 1800fps, so I will be chronographing these as I go. I don’t want to turn this thing into a varmint rifle.
