I’m using Butchers bowling alley wax in 45-45-10, mostly because I saved 2 1/2 cases of it from the trash. Seems to work fine for my pistol bullets.

The GMDR lever gun load information has up to 500 grain bullets in 45-70 using various pistol or shotgun powders up to about 1200 feet per second.
Lyman 457124h from another member, it casts quite nicely. Already have a few loaded for my 45-70 for next weekend.
