I sympathize, Ken. I have a takedown half-magazine 33 and a Deluxe 1886 in 33WCF. Still have a few boxes of Hornadys and others-for loading them.
use to use them in the 45-70, but switched to Oregon Trail lazer cast-and those 400 gr OT bullets don't need a GC at most med velocities. That also includes a
half magazine original 1910 45-70 smokeless 1886.
My first half magazine smokeless 33 1886 was bought at the Tucson Gun show in 1986.

I also shoot reduced velocity non-GC lead. It works and makes me breathe easier.
