I will make a blanket statement though, just my opinion, ball powders designed to operate at .308/.223 pressure levels will not be an ideal choice for a straight wall case designed to operate at SAAMI 30,000...if you have a modern 1886 Win, they do feed them loads up to 50,000. If you stay low you will likely have wild velocity swings and boocoo unburned powder in the barrel. Perhaps your time would be better spent doing some powder trading. Do not be offended.

I’m a lot harder to offend than that. But,…. Most other 45-70 data revolves around powders that work well in .223 and .308 so I’m not quite sure I’m on board with your theory… but I’m not turning a blind eye either.
