I have had good luck with Trail Boss for light .45-70 loads. It's a fast burning pistol powder that's engineered to take up maximum space with powder grains that resemble tiny Cheerio's breakfast cereal. Fifteen grains nearly fills a .45-70 case full.
Any non-compressed load is supposed to be safe in a centerfire rifle case, even with jacketed bullets.
