    H&G 68 in 45 ACP. Accurate in most guns and will typically feed with a little bit of throating, sometimes none at all in some barrels.

    Rel-7 works in a lot of small to midsized cartridges. I use it from 32-20 to 44-40 and 45 Colt. It also works in 45-70 and would probably be fine in 30-30 (although I haven’t tried it yet).

    FWIW, I use 5-7 grs of 700X in lead shot loads (41 mag through 45 Colt). Rice will obviously take less powder but any amount of lead shot probably needs a bit more ooomph.
