I''m going thru the same thing here. I'm just going to use the Hornady brass for heavy bullet loads. Using a faster buring powder negates the powder capacity issues. Start with IMR 4198. You'll find the recoil gets to you before the bullets get to flying too fast. Really no need to push the limits of power with this cartridge.

At the risk of running afoul of the mods for posting on a 13 year old thread, did you get it sorted out?

Also, you may run into cycling and pressure issues in the 94 running longer brass with the FTX bullet seated to the cannelure. Proceed with caution and knowing first if the chamber will tolerate it safely.

When my 1886 was still a 45-70, testing with a dummy round determined I did not need to trim standard length 45-70 brass at all when using the FTX. Chamber had plenty of throat to it and cycling was a complete non-issue.
