Using MBC #1.25-20, 85g RNFP, I've got a H4895 load for1440fps and Trail Boss load for 1150fps.
Both accurate enough for Silhouette.

Got some 45/70 in the tumbler,( stainless/wet ). Just to get the lube off & clean back to like new.
Be ready in a few hrs., then ready for primer, etc.

Hit a snag on my reloading for 45/70. My powder funnel won't work, too small for the mouth of the brass. Had to order another one from Mid Way. I use the aluminum funnels to eliminate static.
Should be here in a few days, then back to business. Always something, LOL

I do the same thing. I've been using an old Coleman aluminum fuel funnel to transfer powder.
I remember when a man could just walk into a store like Longs, or Payless and buy reloading supplies. The good ole days.
