SSK 14" & Encore Pro-Hunter 24" 45-70

[Dhom]

I am trying to find a cast bullet load that will work well in both for hunting. Any suggestions? Right now I have 320 gr cast HPGC's.

Well, they ain’t revolvers, this should probably be in the Reloading section to get due attention, but...

3031, 4198, and Varget. If I can’t do what needs to be done in .45-70 with those 3, I’m probably trying to do something which shouldn’t be done. Varget will be dirty with such light bullets, and since you’re single feeding, you won’t need to crimp, so it’d be even worse. But 3031 should suit your needs just fine.

What are you hunting? If its deer, hogs, or anything smaller, Trailboss is my go-to for lighter loads.

I agree but, don't know how to move the post.

Mostly whitetail but maybe hogs.
