Well, I am about to get my order in for a Winchester 1886 takedown in 45-90.
Got the brass, dies, and shell carriers for this beast.
My FFL is doing his part.
Now, what I need to know is, what are some GOOD starting load to work off of?
I got one of the Lee 340gr molds, as it has a nice flat meplat and has the correct nose length.
For BP:
82-85gr of FFg, .060" card wad, 340gr bullet size .457" should be about right, WLRM primers, 20:1 alloy.
I have settled on using "pearl lube" on all my BP loads. clean, works well is 30 F all the way upto 100 F.
For smokeless:
24gr of H4227, 340gr bullet, WLR primers, felix lube, Lyman #2 alloy.
I saw a box of Ultramax cowboy in 45-90... $40!!!! <Ouch>
