Per the Dixie Gunworks catalog, these cases have the following blackpowder grain weights: 45-70=75gr, 45 Colt=42, 45 Auto=28, 38 Special=24, 30 Carbine=20, 22 Long=5, 30-06=70 (case cut-off where shoulder begins).
Why not just get an inexpensive adjustable measure - brass or plastic. Any shop/store that carries muzzle loading supplies will have one.

you would just need to measure 90 grains then pour into any empty shotshell and then cut off at powder level.
