A buddy recently passed away and his widow gave me his reloading powder, including 2 lbs. of N-130. While I can find reloading data for this powder for my CVA Scout 45-70, I don't find anyone posting about it. Do any of you use this powder for their 45-70 and, if so, what do you think about it and would you mind sharing your reloading data? Thanks for your input.
Is this of use?

N130 is a pretty fast but the list above shows it for the 4570.
On a powder comparison chart, it looks close to the Vecten Tubal 3000 I used to use in my Marlin lever gun from the eighties. I had problems with not getting complete powder burn. I thought of trying a faster powder, never did. I started shooting BP in it instead.
If Vihtavuori lists it for 45/70, it should work. Check to see if you are getting full powder burn.
