Hello. I just aquired a Trail Gun Armory Kodiak Double rifle in 45/70. In all the searches on the net it appers that they like 405 grain bullets the best. I need to decide between the Lee 457-405 and the Lee .459-405HB. (I have read that the HB can be difficult to cast.) Any one useing either mold or shooting this gun I would appreciate your opinions. I will ONLY be useing black powder in this rifle....Thanks, Ed

May I ask why you are only using black powder in the Kodiak Mark V double rifle? Those rifles were regulated with Winchester factory ammunition and are made to use smokless powder and jacketed bullets. Mine regulates very well at 100 yds with IMR3031 powder and 400 gr Speer soft point bullets with the medium load listed for 45-70 in a Ruger No1 !
