378 Grn RN for the 45-60?
« on: April 11, 2011, 07:32:14 PM »
I just received some nice 378 Gr RN lead bullets with gas checks. Has anyone ever used these in their 1876 Winchester. If so where can I get some reloading data. I would like to go BP, but I have smokeless and TB.

Thanks,

David D :-\

Is your 1876 an original or a reproduction?

Howdy Chief,

As H C Ramrod mentioned you can take a look at the loads I have listed.  The 405 gr loads would be a good starting point for a 378 grn bullet.
