470 NE load reduced load data

[ozarkrambler]

Posting this in case someone is looking for a reduced load for their 470. Its working in my Verney Carron better than I could ever have asked. May not be suitable for anyone else.

I have a RMR on my rifle.

400gr hawk flatnose
70 gr H4895
2gr poly fill
Fed. Mag primer
Norma brass
Velocity 1920 Fps
1.5 inch group at 25 1 inch low and 1.5 inches at 50 yds.dead on. Bullets are not crossing.

Great info. Thanks for posting it!

That actually sounds like a really well-behaved reduced load for a .470 Nitro Express in a Verney-Carron double.
