I have been using Accurate 5744 with some good results but am getting low on powder, I do have a new can of 2495 (why, I don't know) but I checked out the Accurate site and they claim that 2495 is " absolutely our best propellant for shooting cast bullets in the 45/70 Government". I got out their free be load book but it only list 2495 with the 500 grain bullet. I was hoping that some of you folks have used 2495 with 405 and/or 350 grain cast bullets. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

If you go to accurate powder website you will find the loads you are looking for using 2495 powder. They are under the standard section, Springfield (trapdoor) 18,000psi. JIM

Thanks jameslee, but to get that info will require me to down load Adobe Reader 7.0.7 which consist of 3 files. When I tried to down load it, it said that the first file would take 3 hours and 52 minutes. I hate to think how long the others would take. Can you tell we have slow line out here :). I stiil do not have 7.0.7.

Kbis,

Just canncell the update that Acrobat asks you to download. It should work after I know it does for me. Acrobat always asks me to update when I open a new file I click canncel and it works fine :).

Thanks Dimitri. It sorta worked that way. I hit cancel and then tried reading it with the old version. It worked. Thanks again.

ps I hate computers .
