I have tinkered a little with the 45/70 subsonics



this is the load I have come up with

500gr lead, unique 11.0 grains shoot at about 1000-1025 FPS

Be careful and make sure you all ways check your barrel. The 500 grain bullets tend to loose stability at this speed at about 100 to 130 yards. You will have to adjust your sights because this load drops very fast.

p.s. I am not recomendeding this load I am just saying that I believe it is possible. I think its more possible from a shorter barrel (in my case 16.5 inches)

all 26 of my guns are 45/70 govt, 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple. Wish my wife did as well...
