Calvin,
Use an empty 45/70 case as a dipper/scoop for your powder and shot. It should hold about 75 grains plus or minus. I have taken a wire coat hanger and cut about 6" off and flattened one end with a hammer then wrapped it around an empty cartridge (leave the spent primer in) then soldered it near the rim and put a small loop on the other end to hold onto. It should give you a dandy load. The Remington 45/70 case has more volume than the Winchester case so use a Remington. I have the grandchildren this week, but if I have a moment I will see what volume of FF I can get into these two 45/70 cases.
