Trying some really light loads I made for my 45/70. I was using Trail Boss powder and 405gr cast lead bullets. Recoil was very light, a far cry from the hunting loads I make for the rifle. Velocity was between 950-1000 fps. I have XS ghost ring sights and an xs scout mount. The scope is a Nikon 2.5-8x and the rings Warne QR rings.
@evgarte I believe it was 16 grains, but you should refer to Hodgdon's website for the data.
