Thanks for the info. I'm shooting once fired Winchester SuperX brass. As long as the brass is clean I'm good doesn't need to be shiny correct? I will try to get some pics? Not much of a computer wiz.
I have finally got around to reloading its been a long time coming but finally loaded up some rounds and shot them. I'm loading for a Marlin Model 1893 built in 1903. I used 27, 28, and 29grs of 3031...

Thanks for the post Sharps 45 90. Open cell foam filler, is that the same thing as the stuff in the can to seal up cracks or are you talking about meat tray foam?

Thank you sir,that's what I wanted to know. So it would be best to use a duplex load when using this powder in 45-70. I have 30-31,Imr 4895,Rel 7 and nothing but large rifle primers.
Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
I've been looking into trying these powders with 45-70. The loads I have found are duplex loads. Is any body using these powders alone in 45-70? How is that working out? Can you use a large rifle...
