    I've had a Nikon on my 45-70 contender for 12 years. The round count is in the low thousands. Although a few mounts and rings , as well as grips, have failed, the scope is just fine.

    I have done this and it works great. I used 3031 but always had a lot of unburied powder. Then I used unique and got a better burn. They just don't kick.
