45-70 smokeless powder loads

[Silver Eagle]

I’m loading an accurate mold # 46-507C cast 20:1 lubed with LBT soft blue lube, sized .459” over Hodgdon Varget.
I won’t give my charge weight because of liability reasons, but the load came from the current Lyman cast bullet hand book

I don’t have the picture on my phone any longer, but this load off my bench at 100 yards with MVA Buffalo tang sight gave me a 3 shot cloverleaf group with a velocity of 1486 fps out of a 30” barrel with a extreme spread of 28 fps and a standard deviation of only 11.5 fps according to my LabRadar chrono
