Default black powder loads for 45-70 us
I have a modern replica of a 1865 sharps,22 inch barrel.I have been loading my own shells,an I wan't to try black powder to be authentic.I cast my own bullet's.I have a 300gr mould an a 450gr mould.I was playing around, so I measured out 70gr of black powder,and it filled within 3/16" of the top of the case. Can you compress the powder that much to seat the bullet?

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
