45-70 bullet performance
« on: March 01, 2010, 04:51:54 AM »
Any real life experience with bullet performance of the Rem 405 and hard cast 405 at trapdoor levels. Would a hard cast be better for Griz?

I can't really say I used them at trapdoor levels, but I had loaded them to 1650FPS using 48.1gr. of IMR 3031 from a 16.5" barrel. I was lucky enough to go on a Bison hunt and the bison dropped on the spot. Actually it was more like knocked off it's hoofs. The guide said he had never seen that happen before.
