If you want very close to a original bp clowboy load but in smokeless take a looksee at IMR trailboss. You can load it by volume safely, and a 45-70 case 90% or so full with a 405 grain lead shotos around 1009 fps with a low spread and good accuracy.
Just a though since trailboss has become my favorite powder. GoodOlBoy

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
