  A:

  Here's what you'd want to use.
  45-70 Government 405 grain RNFP
  This load was developed with the 1873 “Trapdoor” Springfield in mind, but is a great option for any rifle (or revolver) chambered in 45/70. These projectiles are cast from a softer alloy that is ideal for the lower pressure and velocity of a proper Trapdoor load.
