I'm loading for the 45-70 and looking for powders that are not position sensitive. Would like to be in the 1400/1500 FPS range w/350gr bullets and no fillers and a clean, consistant powder burn.

24 grains of 2400. 1450-1500 fps with no unburt powder in my 22" barrel. Excellent accuracy also. YMMV

2400 for my choice also. My most accurate hunting load in fact.
Look to some of the VV powders. Very very clean.
I like 3031 in my 45-70. Sr4759 works very well too if you have any.
