I tried all day to buy powder from Hodgdon, once I would get to checkout it would say loading and it would just stay there!… got off work and called them, they picked up right away!… he couldn’t help me but transferred me to a nice lady in Montana. 5 minutes later I have my 3 lbs coming!… there site sucks but there customer service is great!

Just so you will know, I went through the Natchez check out procedure on a single one pounder of 4198, and the total cost with hazmat, tax, and cost is $115.27.

How many rounds of 45-70 would a pound bottle of that stuff cover for your load?

About 135 loads per lb of powder

Jackie,
Different locations must be the difference but mine was slightly higher than yours

About 135 loads per lb of powder

So almost a dollar per load just in powder

well if
a person has a 45/70 marlin 1895 or a Ruger #3 he probably doesnt wanna shoot to many at a time so a pound will last ya a long time. i forgot what powder i use in the 45/70
i saw PV had H1000

 

[hoz53]

Those are the subtotals for 134 bottles (134 pounds) and 102 bottles (102 pounds) respectively at the time this screenshot was taken

Oh Im old and dont understand stuff like subtotals - so nobody will pay me 6000/# for my H4895? thanks

for most of my days i really never thought id see 100/# powder. I guess a positive way to look at it is Ive lived long enough to get there.

@bozo699
Wayne I’m glad you got hooked up with at least that much. Keep your eye on the place we chatted about earlier as well.

I have 3 45/70’s two of them I don’t shoot much and use 3031 in them but my 1886 Winchester is a joy to shoot. Wouldn’t want it for a bench gun but it’s heavy enough and fits me well it’s pretty easy to shoot even with the 405’s

Thanks Jim I sure will! I got 4lbs today. I want more but this will tied me over a while. Bruno’s cancelled my 5lb jug of RL7 which bummed me out as they showed they had 1 but apparently not. I’m not short on powder just don’t want to get that way.

Need I mention why I bought a couple pistol caliber lever guns ? A#9 is pretty cheap and only use 20.6 grains per load.

youre letters are tiny for some reason — thanks for the info- i had the 30/30 out today though and it wasnt to bad.

I was whispering. I had a #1 in 45/70 and sold it because of the recoil or my age. You pick.
Sorry, the dog had to go out.

I love to shoot the old 45/70, but the recoil was a bit much. Reduced loads helped but then 4198 became scarce. I’m saving it for my 30brs so I looked for a solution and bought a Marlin lever in 44 Magnum. I liked it so much, I bought the Rossi in 45 Colt. I am having a ball with them! Heavy loads use between 20 to 24 grains of A#9, which is easy to find. I’m getting 15 to 1700 FPS with a 250 grain bullet . Lite load shooting turns them into BB gun recoil. Plated bullets are cheap and I can load 10 to 12 in the tube magazine. Take my word for it, these little big bores are a ton of fun!

So in 45-70 I can load and have loaded 50gr 3031 and now it will be 37gr and can be used in old guns and will still kill deer and not my shoulder.
