45-70 700x

[gunauthor]

I have a Handi-Rifle in 45-70 and am looking for loading information using 700X powder. I will be using a Lee 405 grain boolit and looking for loads to shoot at 100 yards (and maybe lighter loads for short range plinking). Any assistance would be appreciated.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Don't use 700X. Too fast burning powder comparable Red Dot

Tried 700x with 405 HB didn't get good results, 405 HB with Unique did quite well. had hang fires with the 700x but none with the Unique.
