The RCBS Cast Bullet Manual #1 lists these loads with IMR 3031 and the RCBS 250gr #37-250-FN with GC for the 38-55. 26 grns -- 1357 fps. 28 grns -- 1448 fps. According to RCBS this data was from a Win. 94 with a 24” barrel. I have two 38-55's, one a CPA-Stevens and the other a Marlin Cowboy. Cast bullets and IMR 4227 are used in both. RD

I have eliminated a number of problems with these silent loads. And this 220 grain gas checked bullet over 38 grains of H450 gives near 2000 fps and is a killer of even large game....but you need a hot primer with this powder. Cast Performance Bullets make so many wonderful .308 to .311/2 hard cast bullets, you just want to test them all.
pressure 45 ACP is easy to load and friendly to cast bullets. However loading high quality match ammunition with cast bullets takes extra effort. Jacketed bullets provide a useful accuracy standard The standard factory target load is a 185 grain short nose jacketed open base wadcutter at ~800 fps. It is a good load but perhaps not the best.
What are your favorite reduced loads for the .45-70 using Bullseye, Unique, IMR 3031 or H335? I have 150 gr collar buttons and 300 gr coated bullets. I have looked over the Lyman manual and the Lever Guns Performance Studies table, but would like the benefit of your collective experience. I have a modern High Wall.
My powder coating quality is pretty good I think, and I do not see any need to go beyond 2000fps with my planned 400 grain .45-70 cast bullets, so it sounds like I should be ok. Keep in mind that I have already successfully run the 464 to 500g .45-70 bullets at up to 1400 fps with my powder coating, so a 400g powder coated bullet at 1600 fps ...
I used the RCBS 30-180FN cast from ww+2% tin, which weighed 188 grains lubed and gaschecked. Loading 36 grs. of W760 or 30 grs. of W748 or IMR4064 performance approximated the .303 Savage and it was a good deer load which penetrated well, expanded normally and had good weight retention. I killed about a dozen deer with that bullet over the years.
