I recently purchased a Pedersoli in 45-70 and I'm having trouble finding load data. I bought some brass and I hand load every thing, so I need some primer, powder and bullet suggestions. I plan on hunting with it and I would like to shoot smokeless powder. Thanks for any help.....wapiti7

You'll need to know what level you can load it to, Pedersoli would be the first resource.
