Some guys have gone to Fg in the really big boomers. 50-90, .45-100, and .45-110. They claim increased accuracy and reduced fouling and recoil. The only way to reduce recoil in these guns (with bullet weight a constant) is to reduce velocity. The use of Fg in the big cases does just that. So, what's the point? Seems to me they would accomplish the same thing with FFg in the .45-70 or .45-90 using FFg. That is all they are really doing, is hamstringing the bigger cases down to lesser performance levels. So, hell yeah - load that Big Fifty up with FFg behind that 585 grain RCBS, and let it "speak" with all its authority. Billy Dixon would be proud.
