Have a new toy HiWall (modern manufacture) in 40-70 sbn 2.1, which is the 45-70 case necked to 40 cal. Been using SR 4759(best results)(22-26gr) along with others and a RCBS 300 CSA boolit weighing 312 gr with my alloy (Boolits weighed) and 50-50 lube. Bore is .408 groove, tried boolits sized .409 and .410. Rifle will shoot 5-6 rounds in one big hole at one hundred yards out of ten and the rest may take the group out to 3-4 in. I have read conflicting reports as to 4759 being position sensitive. I'm thinking this is what is happening. Tried to be consistent as to the loading but I have to load without tipping the rifle up so the best I can do is most of the powder at the boolit base. No crono. I would like to try toilet tissue to hold the powder on top of the primer. Never used fillers. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.
