45-70, low recoiil, unique
I am testing extremely lite recoil loads in 40-70 government. I gathered from other comments that unique is a good powder to do this with. What I have not determined is whether to fill in the excess case with a filler of some sort. I have read comments to always use a filler unique, and other comments to never use a filler with unique. I am not looking for load data or recipes. Suggestions/Comments on bullet and powder are welcome.

Mr.Gibson recommended a 270 grain (+ or -) bullet and 8.0 grains of Bullseye (no filler). I’ve had fun shooting it through my Marlin Guide gun. Also use a 190 gr. collar button bullet over 14.0 gr. of Trail Boss.
