Says that is a 2000 FPS load from a 22" barreled Marlin 1895.

That resembles my grandpa’s handwriting but his Ruger single shot was a 22 Hornet

I never spent much time loading the .45-70 with "pistol powders". I recall early on, just after I started loading for the only one I had at the time, I dropped a book charge of Unique in a case, saw the brass from the inside bottom peeking up through the powder and decided I didn't like having that much empty space. I never went back.

I have had recent thoughts about loading up some round ball with silly, light charges for some fun. Haven't gone there yet though...

I was looking at some old boxes & found this note made by someone years ago.
