I am too lazy to deal with cleaning cases from BP loads.
Any suggestions?

Sell it and use the money to buy something intended for smokeless comes to mind....
But if the unburnt powder kernels bother you, then simply wipe the bore shouldn't be a problem.
The Lyman reloading handbook does have smokeless data for the 50-70, they do mention tho that that data should not be used in original rifles or balloon head cases.


the most expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to.
