I don't think Elmer Keith used any other smokeless in his 45-70's. 3031 is also a good powder for the .308Win., and of course the 30-30.

If someone gave me 10lbs of powder, I'd find a way to use it. Especially given the prices these days.

Another buddy gave me around 3,000 pieces of Winchester brass from thne CHP shooting range. Swaged primer pockets, but thats fixable. Higgins

Works great in .35 Whelen. Decent velocity and if I average the accuracy with all the loads and bullets I tried, 3031 gave the best accuracy.

3031 is my favorite 30-30 powder when used in conjunction with a 170 gr. Speer flat point in my Marlin. Then last fall I tried it in an 8x57 Mauser with a 150 gr. Hornady, (got the idea from the Hornady 6th edition manual). The 8x57 is averaging 2799 fps with excellent accuracy. Saw some Hornady data for it in the 303 British also, so I might give it a try in a sporterized #4 Mk.I Lee-Enfield.
