GOB,

I have used Pyrodex in my M1884 Trapdoor .45/70 rifle. Hogdon's lists RS Pyro data in their reloading manual. I cast a 405 grain #2 alloy bullet and load 50 grains of RS Pyro. I use standard primers and do not use a wad over the powder yet. I have had good results with 2F Goex and 2F Elephant, about 70 grains of each.

Hope this helps.

Adam
