Great to hear you got everything purring along CC- including the cat!
Marvellous little rifle indeed.
Did you disclose your 'whatever' load, or is that still under wraps for the .40-70?
My "whatever" load is chronicled above:
My load is:
* 70 gr. of Olde Eynsford 2F, the powder compressed just below the base of the neck;
* a beeswax foundation wad set on the powder;
* a 3/16" thick grease cookie;
* 330 gr. swaged .399" paper patched bullet;
* WLR primer;
* 2.925" OAL.
This load is accurate and does not foul the barrel. It chronographs at 1521 fps.
I think this is a "factory duplication load."
