    You don't tell us what gun you are shooting your reloads in - it really DOES matter, even with a lead bullet.

    I have a Uberti Winchester Model of 1885 High Wall - my load, out to 500m - is 32gr of IMR4198. That is with a 405gr lead flat-nose.

    Your 57gr load seems to me to be rather more than the recommended top load from the Hodgdon reloading manual, 26th Ed, page 479

    H4198 44gr

    'For modern rifles designed for high pressure loads only'

    Like the Ruger No1, for instance. Or the Marlin whatever it is, but not any kind of modern replication of an older design.
