There are a number of us using Tin Star for gallery loads in our .45-70s for indoor 25m and out to 100yds. Most of us have Marlin lever guns with a couple of BPCR. The load we use in these circumstances is 12.5gns. Figures are around 1050fps for 991ft/lbs with a 405gn bullet.

Cheap, accurate and can be shot all day without fatigue!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!
