I've got some 45/70 ladder loads I've been trying to shoot, but the weather won't cooperate. I'm only loading 3 of each load instead of 5 to save bullets, etc. Too hard to come by these days.
Forecast don't look promising anytime soon.
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Today, I loaded 100 rounds of .45 Colt. Used 6.4 grains of Green Dot, 250 gain lead RNFP Hitek coated.
I shoot .45 Colt in my Ruger New Vaquero, and Uberti 1866 Winchester. Both at steel and lots of fun to shoot.

I've never tried Green dot, I was gifted about a half lb last summer.
Been wondering what to do with it. ;)

Vaquero
I was gifted a pound of Green Dot too (back in 2009) and got this load from the Lyman Manual. Been buying and using it on and off ever since. It's also a good load for bowling pins, Clears the table every time!!!
