Yes,at the absolute least,16gn has zero danger of being a squib load....
Don't think I'd shoot his reloads...

I use 34grns TB behind a 300 grn lead and IMHO its in the medium range. Some other guys use 25grns and that's super mild and would have a trajectory of a boomerang so I can't see 14 being right ???

34 of 2207. I also use TB a lot and it didn't register its the 45/70.
So is 14grns of TB a reasonable load for a 45/70 or is this on the weak side ?

Have also had a Skinner rear peep mounted to the Browning 1886 SRC Lever and have now worked out how I can also fit a Lymans crosshair to the front as they don't have a front dovetail mount but a slotted block etc.
Buying a lathe and mill in two weeks
When all done I'll do a chrono test with 34 of 2207 V 16 of TB and post later.
