Comment The brass used was the Hornady brass that comes with the Leverevolution ammo. It's trimmed shorter than standard length for 45-70 so it can be used in Leverguns.. Shot with Pine ridge scope from Cabela's that us designed for use with this round. Bullet is touching the powder in this load but is not compressed. This load shot better than the factory load.
