I too roll my own for a 45-70 Browning Hi Wall. My bullets are pure lead with about 3% tin. I also use the Government mould. They are generally around 525 grains. I use a plastic hopper powder measure and a drop tube. I use standard RCBS dies. I cut my over powder wad from auto gasket material. It really is fun to shoot BP. The recoil is less than one would think. Anyway your post makes me want to go shoot. Bill
