sorry for the title, ment 50-70 can that be changed.
Anyone here load BP for there 50-70, i picked up a cut down 1868 trapdoor springfield, it's a nice handling gun and would make a nice deer rifle. i really don't need full power BP loads, i think i read they used 55 grains for the carbines, that should be plenty for deer with in 100 yards.
for right now i will used pyrodex, i have to go to another state for real black powder. i made up some wades that are about .030, i have the lee 450 mold, anyone use a lube cookie or just whats on the bullet.thanks.troy.
