If not shooting these lets here what you are shooting in your 45-70 lever gun. I would like to keep the weight less than 350 closer to 300 if possible. The gun w/scope shoots absolutely lights out with 300 grain jwords and 5744 in the high trapdoor or low lever action load range.

Lyman 457483 is my choice

I’m using the Noe 460-315 getting good accuracy with 44.5g IMR3031, 1 1/2” @100 yards with my Marlin 1895. It’s going with me Monday morning in the woods. These are going about 1580 fps and recoil isn’t bad. Boolits are powder coated.

I might add that I size to .459 and use the Hornady short brass from the Lever revolution ammo and use the Lee factory crimp die. It won’t chamber with standard length brass.

I have a few different accurate molds. I have the 46-325cg, the 46-350a, 46-300r and the 46-525vg. I load the 300 and the 325 for my friends 45-70 from time to time. I mostly use them all in my 458 socom. I love them. The 325 is the most accurate ones from my 458 socom as long as they are powder coated. If I only lube them, they open up a lot
I only have one Accurate mold. But I like it a lot. I use it in a .44 levergun.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
Recently I tested 3 different mold patterns in a Marlin Guide Gun. First was a Lyman 457191 mold for a 300 grain boolit over 10.0 Unique. This is my "grins & giggles" load for Trapdoors that I wanted to use up. Then I followed with (1) RCBS mold 45-300RF-GC (actual casts were 325 grains) and a Ranch Dog pattern 460-350RF-GC (boolit weight 358 grains), both over 36.0 grains IMR4198. I was looking for a muzzle speed of 1,500 fps +/- to find tight groups. My shooting distance was 25 yards at an indoor range (all I had available). Have owned this rifle about 20 years and this was my first time firing it - for a few various reasons. Scope is a Leupold 4Xwith plex crosshair. All 3 tested loads created 1-hole groups so longer distance testing will be when I get access to a longer range. I was both impressed and pleased with these groups. The Unique loads had no significant recoil and the other 2 (IMR4198) were manageable and could easily be fired by anyone. For the areas where I hunt this muzzle speed will cover the distance I have to view nicely and higher speed is not necessary.
