Triple 7 in the 50-70 Govt.

[WINGATE]

Has anyone out there ever loaded the 50-70 with triple 7 ffg? I have an original Sharps conversion rifle that is in minty condition. I have used 14 grains of unique with a 450 gr. Lyman bullet in my carbine with great success, but would like to try Triple 7 in this rifle, but can't find any info on it- GW

Maybe you can email them (at the bottom of their pages) and ask for more specific info., they have distibuted free reloading reference materials in the past.
