    My pet load for my Martini Henry's is: @thatguy

    CBC case
    60grn by volume 1.5 fg Swiss BP
    Void in case filled with a peice of foam backer rod
    Bullet seated right out in the case
    Bullet cast stone hard ( cant mark it with thumbnail pressure)

    Bonus with that load is that it will shoot to the sights at 100m.

    The obscene hardness of the bullet means it grips the rifling better apparantly. If you jamb 80grns of swiss behind that bullet it will go clean through a railway sleeper.
    Moa Hunter and Micky Duck like this.
