45/70 powders

[tim56]

Just found I can no longer get H4198 powder which I use in my Marlin 1895 sbl. 26 gens with a home cast 405 gin bullet made from
old wheel weights works a treat. Accurate with enough hmph to be interesting but not excessively heavy on the shoulder recoil wise.
So what would you recommend as an alternative.?

N120 or D060.

Reloader 7 or if you can source some IMR 4198 work well in 45/70
And Alliant 2400 works very well for cast down loads.

I posted the same question about a year ago as I wanted to migrate my .45/70 to Viht powder.

I had very good results with N130 as a replacement for 4198 in "full power" loads.

D060 is fine for downloads if that's what you want.

Cheers

Unique is apparently good for that round

I used to use Accurate Arms 5744 when available, great stuff.

I tried Reloader 7(?) when i ran out if the 5744- kick was brutal!
