Looking for 50-70 Government smokeless load data.

My Lyman manuals have some, but only a couple of bullet weights.

I understand Accurate has some in their #2 manual but I don't have it.

If you have any data I'd appreciate if you'd list it here...maybe include the source of the data if you don't mind.

Much obliged,
BR

If anyone happens to have any 50-70 headstamp brass to spare I'd be interested as well. Don't really need a 50 count of dealer brass just yet.

In Cartridges of the World:

450 gr bullet, 26 grs 4198 for 1410 fps or 36 grs of 3031 for 1270 fps

350 gr bullet, 38 grs 3031 for 1310 fps
 
I reload smokeless in 12.7x44R (Swedish rolling block) which is pretty much identical to 50-70 Government.

450 gr cast (Lee mold 515-450)

24 gr SR4759 gives around 1080 fps over my Chrony Beta
26 gr SR 4759 --> 1300 fps

26 gr H4198 shot slightly higher than the same weight of SR4759, i.e. 3" higher at 100 yards, I didn't chronograph it.
