I think I just found a new powder for my 45/70

I have been looking for a easy to use powder lately as I realized while loading some 223 for the AR that it was quit nice to use the progressive.

So I started snooping around and realized that the H335 that I am using for the 223 can also be used in my 45/70 and according to my Speer book I should pick up some velocity. Since I am shooting a 400 grain bullet I expected more recoil, but was pleasantly surprised to feel less recoil So when day light starts to get a little longer I will try doing a little load development.

I only loaded 6 or so at the minimum charge.

Cool let us know how it goes.

I always try to find powders that can fill multiple roles.

I had great luck with it in my .444
Also, A1680. Both meter so very nicely, too.

No reason why it should not work well there. Yes let us know what your results are. BTW I buy the surplus equivalent from Pats Reloading for a lot less money in the 8 pound jugs. This is a good option if you are not putting them into storage for years as that propellant is a pull-down and not as long lived as the new canister grade that is available however.

Well, I for one don't have a very large house and have to have my tumbler in my room. Heck, our house is so small (poor grad students, cheap rent) that its a racket from anywhere in the house.

I can't decide if I want to load and shoot or go cast, But I will definitely keep working with the powder and let you all know where it goes.
