Load for 70 series Gold Cup

[gregintenn]

I know these were designed for a light target load; maybe 185 or 200 gr wadcutters? So far, I've put a 16lb spring in mine and have been firing 230 grain ball ammo. I now have a set of dies and would like to load the correct load for the gun with the factory spring. Any ideas on where to start?

Greg:________________

Try 6.5 grains of Unique, standard primer, and any 230 grain roundnose or truncated cone hardball (...hornady....) you can find. Look in the book for the overall length. We dont have a gold cup; but we've burned a ton of these loads thru regular model 70's and old military colts. Lots of folks like 5.2 grains of titegroup. Another old time load is 5.0 grains of bullseye.

Hope this helps.
