Win. 1876 load data (new to me)

Post by Chuck 100 yd »

I just got my new Lyman #49 reloading handbook.
There is much load data for the replica 1876 rifles in 40-60 ,
45-60 , 45-75 with data for AA5744 ,AA2015 ,H4895 ,Varget ,
Trail Boss ,IMR4198 ,Pyrodex pellets and Tripple Seven.

BUT... NO DATA FOR THE .50-95 :x :x :x :o

Interesting thing said is that Trail Boss can be loaded like black powder or 777 with the case filled to 100% load capacity.
(Above was said under loading for the 45-60WCF.)

Lots of good stuff I dont remember seeing in the Lyman #48 :D

I used that manual when I developed loads for a repro. 76 .45-60. Kirk D. helped as well. Good read. 1886.
