Fill the case with FFg to just compress when the bullet is seated!

FFg? this is a marlin guide gun i'll be loading for. 1895 marlins shoot FFg just fine! you would be surprised at the accuracy using it. the load quoted will kill anything living. only draw back is clean up. of the listed loads the starting Imr 4198 is my favorite. i have been shooting the 45-70 for 52 years come Christmas day in about every flavor of gun it is chambered in. my current arms are,1895 GBL, Siamese Mauser, and the first long gun i ever had, my springfield Trapdoor. the 45-70 doesn't need to be loaded to 458 speeds to kill or be accurate.

Cool about doc! I guess I just wasn't thinking. FFg is black powder.... mess to clean up but its fun to shoot, but caustic to the gun if not cleaned with black powder solvent or hot soapy water....

Roger,
My load in that rifle was 52 gr H4198 pushing the 350 gr Hornady. Is that an LFN or WLN bullet? Have you checked how well it feeds? Rings are going in the mail tomorrow AM.

go to an shop that sells Muzzle loading supplies.
also for a black powder sub try Jim Shockey's American Pioneer Gold.
just for S and G's i loaded up a case full of IMR 4350 under gummie tips and was amazed at the accuracy, no unburned powder and plenty of velocity.

Roger, if you don't even know what FG means, I'd say that your safest bet, at this point is to load those gas checked bullets with just about ANY of the smokeless loads that DW put up.
SAVE delving into the mysteries of loading proper black powder ammunition for another time, and (if that Marlin Guide gun's ported) for a different rifle.
That blue lubricant has not performed WAS with BP, in my experience.
If the starting loads show great accuracy, ....just STAY there,....at the lowest Smokeless vels shown, that bullet will kill like the wrath of God.

Ed its a hard cast bullet, LFN/WLN new terms to me. have only shot factory ammo out of it so far. Cool on the rings, got my scope Sunday.

Ed its a hard cast bullet, LFN/WLN new terms to me. have only shot factory ammo out of it so far. Cool on the rings, got my scope Sunday. I know them well as they are just a bit from my place in Idaho and I have used their bullets a bunch. WFN is Wide Flat Nose, WLN is Wide Long Nose, you can get into OAL issues with the latter. I suggest you load five without powder and see how they cycle.
