    45-70 load in a Trapdoor

    I've been shooting 45-70 handloads of 10 gr Unique pushing a 405 gr boolit at about 1000 fps in my 1886 Extra Lightweight. My friend would like to shoot a few out of his Trapdoor. He's been shooting 70 gr FFg with that same boolit.
    I would think that 10 gr Unique load should be safe in the Trapdoor.
    Your thoughts on this load in a Trapdoor in good condition.

    Your Unique load is quite safe in the TD.
