Remington .45-70 factory load copy

I got 100 Remington bullets for the .45-70, the 405grsFN. Now I would to copy the Remington 405grs factory load. The "for use in all rifles".
I loaded many .45-70 in the last 25 years, but only full house or light loads with Trailboss or N110 and lead bullets. Nothing in the "middle". I´m not a fan, to fill the case only 50% with medium burning propelant.
Hmmm.....
Norma 200 or Lovex D060 could be a good idea, I mean. IMR and Hodgdon are killed by "Reach" here in Europe.

I think that ammo is loaded to 1330 fps and should be easy to duplicate.

5744 is made for that and it does not fill the case.
If you want to fill the case, many slow burning powders will work.
Look in your reloading manual.
Or just fill it with black powder. Can't go wrong.

29.0grs of 4198 under the 405 Remington bullet will duplicate the factory load.
