What did you end up getting to reload for your 45-70?

Yeah, there are endless variations. I went with the 4064 powder at first since it's slower burning and a course grain powder. From what I read, you run out of room in the case with this powder before you load it too hot for a modern rifle.Between Trail Boss and H4895 the vels vs bullet weights in the 45-70 are endless.
Check the Hodgdon site for reduced/low power loads (60%) using H4895 ONLY. ---- SAWMAN
That is one dead hog for sure. Nice looking rifle. I almost feel sorry for the pig.
