45-70 has so many good powders, it is easy to start a fight on which is best! I like lots of IMR 3031 with 400 grain cast RNFP/GC for a hot Marlin load. Trail Boss and 300 gr RNFP target load. Real FFg Black Powder and 485 gr RN in my Shiloh Sharps 1874.
The Lyman loading Manual 45th edition has a Unique load for everything being shot in 1973.
I buy many rifle and shotgun powders in 8 pounders and my favorite handgun powders in 4's or 8's. And I still ended with over 75 one pounders of different powders.
