I have received and at least partially digested my copy of Wolf's
Loading Cartridges for the Original 45-70 Springfield Rifle and Carbine.
I am leaning towards the 500g load to match my Buffington sight at the correct .459 bullet size, drilled out primer holes, compressed 70 grains, etc., etc.
However, it is rather amazing to me that no one makes this commercially--hand loading is a step I am reluctant to take if I do not have to.
So, are there any commercially available correct (using Wolf data) 500g loads?
If not, are any of the 500g bullets available on Track of the Wolf, Inc. a good place to start (I have enough memory problems without adding lead exposure into the mix)? Maybe this one:

Last, is anyone here in the Chicago area and willing to let me watch a handloading process? I find that in-person exposure is often the best way to learn.
Thanks in advance.
