.45/70 FTX 325 gr, anyone try them?

Anyone load any of the new Hornady FTX up yet? What velocity did you get and any favorite powders? (Marlin load)

The data on their site is quite limited, and velocities max out around 2050 fps.

I read you may need to trim brass a little shorter, any comments?

Any problems feeding?

Goto Greybeard Outdoors (google), a wealth of info on the 45-70, the below paragraph taken from their forum.

Got out today and shot my first 45-70 Gov handloads. Loaded up some Hornaday 325g FTX (LIPSTICK) rounds. They had almost the extract same POI through all charges. The hottest load I had was 47.9g of IMR 4198.
