The difference between H110/w296 and IMR 4227 is that 4227 is more of a flake powder, where H110/W296 is a ball. Thats why you can compress 4227 so much more. Ball powders are designed to have air gaps, think of stacking balls instead of cubes.

Why is 45-70 ammo so expensive?

The demand for 5.56Nato is way higher than 45/70 so there is far more 5.56 being made. The cost therefor goes down somewhat in respect to the small demand for 45/70. The bean counters figure that they can make way more on the volume of 5.56 and if the 45/70 guys want ammo, well they’ll have to pay for it.
