Done lots of revolver lead & gas check loads in 44 mag 45 colt & 357 mag.
Never done a rifle before, my Marlin 1895 45/70 - 22"bbl is the one here.
I got 200 Cast Performance heat treated solids Gas Check F/P .458 - 300 grain
bullets/ also says LBT style as well as lFNGC.
You can tell I am no expert on gas checks.
I have searched with no results on possible starting loads for Gas Checks.
I know they have to be hotter than common lead bullets but less
than brass, that's all I know & maybe that is wrong.
Powders I have found which I have lots of are H4198 // H335 // IMR3031
& IMR4198 //H4895 // H-Varget, got other powder of course.
Any ideas of info location or personal testing?
