45-90

[Eric Johanen]

The Saturday outing in Wisconsin Rapids was a really great time. Laid back and no pressure. Just shoot and check zero's and loads. I don't think anyone even kept scores. Weather was perfect with almost no wind and bright clear skies. I ran my 45-70 and used Winchester fire formed and neck sized brass, CCI BR2 primers, 80.0 grains of OE 1.5 fg, .060 poly wad compressed to .150. BACO .444 535 grain Money Bullet ( actual=527 grains) with a very slight taper crimp. 100% cotton paper sized to .4505. Chambered with just the feel of the bullet into the rifling and wiped between shots. Confirmed 300 and 600 yard zeros from last season. Spot on! 1'st shot at 600 was a outside 10 at 9 O'clock, 2'nd shot in the same place. A bit of right windage and a X on the left. Just shot my string and was pretty pleased. Very little vertical under these conditions. Big Thank's to Arnie and his crew for setting this up!
