So I have been wanting to get into reloading for a long while, but the initial start up is fairly expensive as I don't have much time or money to spend at the range. I picked up a Lee classic loader in .45-70 as that is the only cartridge I have that is simple to reload and worth reloading. I finally found some Trailboss powder and it is amazing in this caliber!
I cooked up 50 rounds using a 300gr hard cast RNFP bullet and about 14.3gr of Trailboss. I shot these today and they are such a pleasure to shoot! I don't have a chrony, but this charge supposedly propels bullets at around 1200fps. Shooting this in my guide gun felt like I was shooting my SKS, not a punishing load in the slightest! The best thing is, each round cost about $0.35 vs $1.50 commercial!
This is my new favorite caliber to shoot at the range.
