Has anyone had issues shooting the Fiocchi Cowboy Action 45-70 405 grain in black powder guns? The fsp is listed as 1185. I was hoping to shoot it in a black powder 1885 and 1886? Both guns are in good shape but I have only used black powder in the past. Thanks for the help.

CA loads are always low pressure, as are most other factory loads for BP-era cartridges. High-pressure loads for modern guns like 1895 Marlins have warnings on the boxes against use in antiques.
