I posted a much longer piece under handguns but thought this might be of intrest to some of the rifle shooters. Here is the clip:

Using Beartooth 425 grain Pile Driver Juniors on top of 52.5 grains of Hodgdon Benchmark I shot a five shot group at 100 yards that measured 2.4 inches with a velocity of 1618 fps as measured by my Oehler 35. The standard deviation was 5. This was shot from a bench with a two power scope.

I'm curious what gun you shot it out of. That bullet is almost my very favorite for that caliber.

In 45-70? Bandito

I should ahve added a little more to this at the beginning. This is out of a Magnum Reasearch BFR in 45-70. It has a 10 inch barrel. I would be pleased with this accuracy out of a lot of rifles. As you can imagine I am very pleased with it out of a revolver. I certainly have to give lots of credit to Marshall's bullets and his ability to size them to the customers particular needs.
