"..wonder how it would work with FFg under that primer cap?

I do too but 4F would surely be better. Anyway, the old guy also had black powder available and I suspect he experimented enough to know the shaved match heads were more effective.

(To the Feds; I do not now nor have I ever owned a .45-70 so I really don't know any more than what I said above so keep your jack boots off my neck.)
