Hey PJgunner, i talked to a guy at Alliant Powder Co. and he told me that reloader 7 is shaped exactly like 3031 except it is shorter. I have never used it so i can't say. Thanks for all the advice though. Hey GOB, i want to say thank you for the advice about TrailBoss powder. I went to the website and looked up loading data for it in the 45-70 and i think i will give it a try. I like how is bulks up. The loading data for the trailboss listed a 300gr. cast LFP at 14.0 gr. at 1199 fps. at 14,400 cup, and the max was 16.5 gr. at 1285 fps. at 20,900 cup. I do believe thats in the trapdoor range of pressure. I just hope that it will meter well in my LEE measure. Thanks again for the info on the TrailBoss. Happy Trails folks
