45-70 load

I'm looking for a Trail Boss load for the 45-70 using 150 gr collarbutton bullets. Anybody have any info for me?

Wellllp, I'd say that would be one of the easiest things they is to work up fer you own self!   ;D   Go to the web site and see how to determine the maximum and minimum powder charge, start shooting groups with the minimum and work up to the maximum and see what shoots the best! :P
 
I don't know of any other powder that is as easy to develop a load for!   :D

I talked to Mike at the TB website yesterday & he gave me he procedure for load workup. Very easy. I'll post it out if anyone needs it. When I get a chance to work up some loads I'll be sure to post the specs, hopefully along with some chrony data.
