[QUOTE="RegionRat, post: 3067741, member: 57231"] [ATTACH type="full"]556773[/ATTACH] Be very careful with original/antique version, versus trapdoor, versus modern version load data. The 45/70 has been around a long time and as a result there is a wide range of difference in the guns that shoot it, starting with weak ones and evolving into modern strong ones. Do your homework on the rifle you bought. BTW, very few of the popular powders marketed by Hodgdon are "American". Some of the modern ball powders made at the St Mark's (General Dynamics) plant in Florida will be called Winchester for example, but I can't think of any civilian commercial extruded powders made and sold in the US. In so many words, I feel your pain in terms of the price gouging, but it is not because those were actually made in America. [/QUOTE]
