There is a real good reference for light 45-70 loads at gmdr.com. I shoot one of their 1,175 fps loads in my 22" 1895 using 300 gr. RNFP over 15.0 gr. of HS-6. Can shoot these all day long and reload them economically. Great plinking loads. I don't hunt, so I shoot these at paper and steel. With a Limbsaver pad on my 1895, these are real enjoyable loads. Cheers!
