RE: Light bullets in 45/70
I like to swage light bullets at .452" 350 gr to make light loads for the .45-70 trapdoor for the young kids to shoot at the range if their Mon or Dad lets them. Even Mom likes to take a turn shooting the blk powder rifles SmileSmile
I put a knurl on those pistol bullets to get them to .459-60" and load 20 to let them shoot the TD. Very light recoil with 50 gr of 1F and they shoot fine in the slow twist the TD has and they are good enough for the Kids to bust clay birds or swing a bowling pin at 100 yards.
