Thread: I reloaded some 45-70 for my new rifle!

I recently brought a h&r reproduction 1873 trapdoor springfeild it came with dies brass and bullet mold
Casted arround 200 of what im told is its favourite food (450gn Lyman .457) yesterday it was sold to me with 20 rounds of ammo ammo was loaded with 63gn of FFFG black powder and the 450 Lyman .457 bullet which kicked like a mule
So i loaded lighter ones with 45gn of FFG and a cork wad to take up the empty space should make it alot more enjoyable to shoot

I just love the flexibility of black powder aslong as theres no air gaps you can use as little or as much powder as you like
