I admit to becoming a 45/70 addict. I spent the weekend purchasing components and even different colors of powder coating for my bullets with the intention of color coding my ammunition Red for hot loads, yellow for mid range loads and blue for mild loads. I need more brass and lead.

Bought an 1895 GBL .45-70 Government and probably will never use it to hunt but there it is. You certainly can't plink with these things as a box of ammo runs $30.00 and up. I also own a Springfield trapdoor (1873) The .45-70 may be an oldie but it's a "goodie."

45/70 is worth the time to reload. I'm figuring it costs me about 18 cents per round for plinking ammo, not counting the cost of the case which is amortized over it's useful life. Quote HistoryQuoted:
