under a 300 gr. cast LEE bullet. Velocity was right at 1000 fps in a 5.5" Ruger. I think 1680 is almost too slow burn rate, but safe.

    - I thought that looked like a .45/70 bullet, resized. (nm) - WB, 2025-10-28, 13:50
      - It's the old Lyman .45-90 bullet. (nm) - Jim Taylor, 2025-10-28, 14:57
    - That is a very good idea. I used to load Keith's - WB, 2025-10-28, 12:16
