I am not an expert on QuickLoad and would like to validate my findings with someone else who has more experience. I have a 45-120 case at 3.25 inches. water capacity 127.6 gr. 0.458 cal. Rimrock 350 gr cast bullet with a length of 0.891 56 gr. IMR-4198 powder COL at 3.671 in. which gives a seating depth of 0.471 in. Can you tell me what pressure and velocity you get from a 26 in. barrel? Thank you, Eric NRA Benefactor TSRA Life DRSS Brno ZP-149 45-120 NE | ||

If you are using is 56 grains of 4198, you would be better off with a 45-70. You will have a huge air space in there, which is usually a bad thing. 45-120s were made for use with black powder and 550 grain bullets. I used to load light smokeless loads in big Sharps cartridges, but I don't use it much any more. I can't answer your question. Guess at 2000 fps. Asking a lot from a cast bullet. | |||

I don't have that much experience with 4198 but that load is only about 61% capacity. I would have concerns I would opt for a smaller case less powder and get the same velocity. Pressure around 25,000 and velocity around 2000fps. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||
