I reload for a 11 # Rem 700 .308 Winchester using 168 grain BTHP and a Taylor Arms 45-70 Quigley.

The most accurate 45-70 load was 500 gr Barnes HP with IMR 4198 or 450 gr Barnes HP. I bought the Barnes bullets for 6¢ each 3 months ago. My usual load is a Saeco cast spire point bullet 410 grains with AA 5744 powder. It will regularily shoot clover leafs at 100 yards but using a large diameter bullet does help.

Does this qualify for heavy rifles?
