I tried a thing the other day

For light practice loads in .45-70 I've been using a 300-grain cast bullet over- in this case- 9.0 grains of Titegroup.  After having read in the past of using different primers, I found a box of Large Pistol Magnums, and decided to try them.

It was only at 30 yards, but the results were interesting.  I'm going to have to make some more of these to test at longer distance.

Tighter groups than I generally got with standard Large Rifle primers. May have been a fluke, but it'll take another try to find out.
