While trying to find a good powder for my 405 gr 45-70 loads, I noticed the product description on IMR4198:
"This fast burning rifle powder gives outstanding performance in cartridges like the 222 Remington, 221 Fireball, 45-70 and 450 Marlin. Varmint shooters with small bore cartridges love it."
This got me wondering, how does a powder work well for 223 and 45-70? One is fast and light, the other hucks giant chunks of lead slow. If not for something like 45-70, when would you use a slow powder? Thanks a bunch and pardon my ignorance.... And by the way, anyone have a good load for that powder and 405 Gr laser-cast?
