    I understand that you are doing research and don't imply that you should cease. I'm partial to the above load and expressed an opinion or bias.
    Yeah. That 950fps is really what I was shooting for for handguns.

    I'd like a little more velocity from the rifle though. I'll get some XTPs and work up a load with enforcer. Hopefully I can get up to 1400-1500 with a load that's still shootable in the MG. Fortunately I have enough loaded up to last me for now.

    Thanks for posting these! Two guns that have long been on my want list are a .45 colt revolver an a .45-70 lever action. However, seeing the numbers you are getting out of the Lever Gun are more than enough for anything I need here on the East Coast.
