    Request taken from Mr Guesty, will happily oblige, and anybody who wants a go (including Mr Armchair shooter).
    One is correct I don't have much time to go on the computer, I work away where personal comms devices are not looked upon lightly!

    Hi, I'm going to try Some of that Reloader Swiss powder RS80, as I was told it has similar characteristics as Alliant powder. Vit powder has got a kick to it, as I noticed with my 45/70, I use Reloader 7 which is softer on the shoulder than the N150. So I put out feelers to see what other powders do other shooters use, and I would be grtetful for any input, that includes which type of dies one uses.

    About the only comment I'd make on this is that .45/70 is a bit - well - different, and if you're thinking of using anything like Re7 in .338 Lapua Mag you probably oughta look at some other powder charge data...

    But then, maybe I'm reading you wrong.

    Hi MikB,

    I am considering to use RS70 or RS80 (not RE7), something different!!!
