[QUOTE="Mule, post: 169417, member: 6897"] The great Holy Black Well good to see you want to use some of the original stuff. As far as "getting 70 gr of 2Fg" into a 45-70 case, no problem. Black is more consistent and brands like Goex like to have "compression" to keep velocity well behaved. Most BP reloaders use anywhere from 0.25-0.5 inches of compression (Fill case with weight of BP and then press the BP with a compression plug to provide room to seat bullet). I can easily load my 45-110 with `108 gr of Fg and compress to seat my 550 gr bullet. Too much to cover here on BP reloading but MV is 1350-1450 fps for most cartidge/bullet combo's. Look up Mike Venturino (sp?) as a start or go to the Goex website forums for more info as a start. Warning--- BPCR is addictive like any other gun sport!!! Mule [/QUOTE]
