[QUOTE="Super Dave, post: 2811000, member: 8429"] I used to do BP 45/70. I had one of those cheapo H&R Buffalo rifles. Loved that thing. Should have kept it. Remember that you want NO extra space in the cartridge. If you have room on top, add cornmeal. Use a good BP powder measure. That's what I did. I used to have a nice 500 grain mold. Ex got it all. Anyway, have fun! Can't go wrong with 70 grains of FF. Give it a shake and let it settle. Light crimp. Some of the long distance guys don't crimp at all, I think. I could be wrong about that.
