Hollow base bullets in 45/70?

[UKShootist]

Has anyone tried using hollow based bullets in 45/70? I keep reading about slight differences in barrel diameters and the need to get the right mould but I had the idea that a hollow based bullet might do the trick, at least for lower powered rounds.

What rifle do you have?

Thanks for that. I have a Marlin 1895 that is currently having some accuracy issues I need to resolve.
