350 grain Hornady's with H4895 (45-70)

Post by **Greyhawk** » Fri Nov 01, 2019 5:01 pm

Well I'm gearing up for deer (rifle) season and I'm going to try Hornady FP 350 grain. So I went to the range yesterday with my Henry and these are the results: Starline brass, Federal primers, 350 grain Hornady flat point interlock (Item #4503) and 55.2 grains of H4895.
Nice stout, but not harsh, load to shoot. The first group is a 3 shot group at 100 yards and the second is a 5 shot group at 50.
I think the load is a keeper for my Henry.
Happy Fall!!!!

Ive used that bullet in mine with a charge of reloader 7 and it shoots really well.

Nice shooting! I haven't started reloading yet. I hope I can get near as good results when I do.

Nice, Scoped or not?
Either way, sweet, and should put meat in the freezer.

Hornady produces good bullets and H4895 has a long history of excellent performance in 45-70's .... have you run any through a Chrony

we don't use ours often but when needed, it provides us with a critical bit of info that helps ensure our load will do what we need it to do .... feeding muzzle velocity and ballistic coefficient along with a few other bits of data into a trajectory program gives us a good understanding of the the path our bullets will travel .... that sure helps with sighting in and knowing if we are comfortable with the arc the bullet will follow at the range we anticipate shooting
