Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers Fast burning powder loads for .45-70?

I have used that charge in my Guide gun with a CastPerformance 420 grain LBT and the Beartooth Bullets PileDriver Jr.

Between 1635 to 1650 fps velocity and both bullets are very accurate. Recoil is stout but not painful, definitely not an "all-day bench load".

Penetrates, too!
