Lot depends on your intended use, few shots hunting one thing 40 plus shot string in a match another. Big cases intended for Black Powder always need help using smokeless. All kinds of tricks, best one is use Black Powder. Well lubed bullet half a dozen shots with Black Powder then a quick wipe works well.

I shoot a 38/40 in Lever Silhouette 5 shot string with Black Powder , one damp patch from the muzzle with a flexible Delrin rod while targets are reset gives good results. Same gun same bullet using Unique you don't need to wipe but the rifle won't group as well as with Black. Small volume smokeless it gets high and low strikes depending on powder position in the case. Some use fillers and wads I don't having seen problems with misplaced wads.

I don't shoot 45/70 any more went to 40/65 for my BPCS Simgle Shot Silhouette rifle same thing applies. Large case use Black Powder wipe from the breech between relays.
