45-70 loading
You can load for your handi with smokeless to get started. The H&R BC is not a slouch in the accuracy dept. It's only set back is it's 8 lb weight. I see where some of the posters tell about loading the 535 postells with 70gr of BP. That is a very good load but you better have some padding between you and your BC. I also see where no one said a thing about case annealing. If you want to learn how to load those hit in the same hole loads then you need to anneal your cases. To just load some rounds to put down range is very easy and simple. To load rounds that have that MOA with the real powder is far more complicated and you will need a lot more than basic tools. Press, Dies, compression die, annealing tool, case reammer, digital calipers, powder drop tube and stand, loading block, blow tube, ceramic media, tumbler, drying rack,digital scale and the list goes on. As you can see there are stages to reloading and it is best to crawl before you walk. Don't even think about paper patch. Read till you can't read no more then start reading again.
