Without a compression die and only a Lee Classic Reloader, is there a safe/recommended way to compress the BP for 45/70 shooting from 32" Pedersoli "Business" model. (Cabela's version) I have Starline brass, Swiss 2 & 3 FFG, Montana Bullet Works 45, LBT, 535GR*, POSTELL in .458 over a felt wad. BP is delivered via a drop tube. The bullets are sized and come pre-lubed with SPG. Rifle is new to me so need to do a work up. Plan on starting with 60 gr 2 FFG and working up. Past experience with other guns suggests a final load in the 67 - 70 gr range. I have Pyrodex but now that I can get Holy Black I will use only that.
Does this sound reasonable or is my "mad cow" catching up to me...?
