Please Note: All reloading activity should be done in strict accordance of the manufacturers' specifications printed in their manuals. Milsurps.com and it's members will be held harmless of any and all information related to reloading data and the use of any ammunition submitted on these boards.

Due to the age and unknown maintenance and modifications of ex-military weapons there is always an inherent risk of personal injury including death, even when properly loaded ammunition is used. Inherently, reloading ammunition can be dangerous even in new weapons - Adding to this ammunition risk, many milsurp weapons are often well over half a century old with no knowledge of their maintenance and modifications over the many years while in civilian ownership. Milsurps.com does not endorse or take responsibility for discharging any weapon.

That is a Beautiful 1868. And great shooting in my opinion. Especially given the somewhat poor sights they have.

I have loaded smokeless for 45-70 before. BP does not bother me all that much. I am used to cleanup of it. Have 6 BP Cannons, they are much bigger to clean up even.
