	First off I really enjoy shooting BP (real BP) in my 45-90 and do just that quite often but smokeless rounds comprise at least half of my loads and maybe more, it just depends on the time and place. Early on I discovered there was very little info on loading for this fine old round but I have settled on two that work well using AA4064 and H4895, both at 46 grs using the Lee 458-500-3R bullet. These give a good case fill and are quite accurate but I was curious as to what others might also have gotten good results with?

	In one of the older copies of the Black Powder Cartridge News there was a guy who shot a 250 using smokeless in a .45-90. Chris.
