Powder for 45 70

45-70 with 2400. Was looking thru the Complete Reloading manual for 45-70 last night and noticed a load that used 2400.

The loads listed by IMR for the .45-70 using this powder can be matched by equal weights of Bullseye sometimes and Unique other times.

Speer, Remington (405) or Barnes will deliver 1800+fps and 1 1/2" 100 yd groups.It will serve as a reduced-load powder choice in the aforementioned big-bore cartridges and is an optimum choice in those larger black-powder cartridges, such as the .45-70 Government and the .45-110 and .45-120. It also serves many of the lever-gun cartridges, such as the .30-30 Winchester, .35 Remington, .348 Winchester and .358 Winchester.

GBertolet posted this 15 September 2013. I am helping a friend who is new to reloading, work up a load for his new 1895 Marlin 45-70. He has lots of IMR 4227, so that will be the powder of choice. Bullet is a Lee 340 gr PB. He is after traditional trapdoor or 1886 power levels. We believe 25 to 30 grains will achieve this.Black powder has an even higher peak pressure spike than all of them which enables it to 'bump up' the plain base bullets. IMR SR4759 and 5744 have a bit lower peak pressure and IMR 4198 even lower still. Thus, I have found IMR 4198 to work well with gas checked bullets where, if properly sized, no bumping up is necessary, but a little more ...
