Imr 4198 and start with hodgdon reloading data. You should be pleased with your results. For plinking get some cast bullets any try 12-14 gr of trail boss.

What rifle are you using? There are three power levels for 45-70 loads.

I use the 3rd edition Hornady Handbook data as a reference for my 45-70 Ruger No.1 350gr loads. Using IMR4198 I get 2200+ fps.

The 350gr TSX has a higher ballistic coefficient (0.28) than the Hornady 350gr RN (0.19) or Speer 350gr FN (0.23) for flatter trajectory and higher downrange energy.

First off you failed to mention what type of gun the loads are for as the 45-70 has at least 3 to 4 power levels.........this will help with advice.....Harold

When I owned a Marlin 1895 I used the 3rd edition Hornady Handbook data for their 350gr RN bullet. Good results with IMR4198 at the maximum listed speed of 1900 fps.

As hunter64 said it depends on which action it is used in. Trapdoor,old lever,new lever, single shot Browning or Ruger.
