Loading 45-70 for trapdoor

[Pete D.]

I use the old “carbine load” in my 1873 TD carbine: a 405 grain FN bullet, 55 grains of FFg,, a Walters wad/grease cookie over the powder and a modern filler (Pufflon) to the case mouth.
The big Browning BPCR gets as much FFg as I can fit (about 63 grains) dropped through a tube, a grease cookie, and a Lyman Postell bullet.
