I can hear your gears turning lolJust out of curiosity, where and what kind of match do you shoot a 45-70 in?

I recently had good results with 8208 in my AR. I bought a couple more pounds of it at the last gun show as a result.Loaded my first ever .223 rifle rounds recently using IMR 8208 XBR and Speer 55gr JHP projectiles. Went with 8208 as I've ready many good reviews about it being very accurate across a wide range of loadings and platforms. Only loaded 10 and only shot those at 50 yds but they all went bang and made some pretty decent groups. First group 4 out of 5 holes were under an inch with 1 flyer a little outside, but that was most likely me cringing on the first round hoping I didn't blow myself up.
Second group of 5 at a higher charge weight stayed a hair under an inch so I can't complain too much. It was also my first time shooting my AR with a scope, so all in all pretty happy.
I loaded up 15rd of .300BLK 147gr fmj w/ 15.5gr Lil Gun which thankfully meters SOOOO much better than H110 in my Lee auto drum, no more leaking. I'll be testing these out this weekend.
I bought 4lb of H110/W296 but was getting major leaking out of both of my Lee autodrums, even tried different drum inserts and polishing. It's just a super fine ball powder and Lee stuff isn't made to that tight of tolerances.REALLY
I bought many a pounds of the 110 for the 300, knowing it leaks and all but thought that was just part of the game.. Uggg, Guess I will try the Lil Gun sometime 2 years from now when I run out...

Got bored loading 6.5 Creed so I loaded up 20 rounds of 257 Wby for hunting. Nosler 100 grain BT's using Reloder 25. Running right at 3200. It was so much fun I may load another box or two today.
Sofa King Much America right there!I wasn't a big fan of H110, until I started working loads up in 44mag for a Desert Eagle.
