I cannot find any of the powders listed on loaddata.com for the 56-50.  I have at home Vihtavuori N135 in ample supply.  Has anyone used this powder for this cartridge?  Are there any other powder options that I can use?  I am not interested in match performance, just historical performance.

Morning y'all.
Coffee and tea are ready.

'Tis 58 and fog. "Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog in the morning. A chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the lower 80s. Light and variable wind becoming southeast 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain 40 percent."

Ammunition is prepared for N-SSA nationals this weekend. I've bumped up the powder charge to 38 gn GOEX FFFG. This is the maximum I can get into a case and still have the bullet seat properly. The Carbine seems to prefer stouter loads so we will give it a try this upcomming weekend. We may be getting additional bad weather in Winchester and I have not decided if I'll shoot this in heavy rain or bring out the Uberti Henry instead. Hoping to also get some Swiss powder to get some extra velocity on these full cases.

I am hoping to do some experimenting with duplex loads in the near future. They won't be competition legal obviously but may wring our the maximum performance the rifle can offer for hunting and the like.

I would love ro make my way there.  Not sure what next year holds, been crazy busy at work.  I have to say i am exhibiting a bit of personal growth (wow a pun that may set me back).  I was the tallest person in my family at age 10.  Reached height i am now at age 12.  But i have a big bag (like the kind you can stuff a leprechaun in) of short jokes to toss out like dwarf tossing.   Amazed i kept them to myself.

I'm recruiting one of our local shooters for the next Buffalo Walls shoot.  He's already shopping for rifles!

I am suspicious of this post. It appears word-for-word the same in other fora (forums) dating back at least three years. This seems to be a copy and paste situation...

Edit:  In the other fora, the person posting obtained answers to their questions. That included determining that there was a crack in the chamber area rendering the gun unshootable. I very much doubt that that person is posting again with the same questions, including the "5 years ago" reference.  ElizabethMulcahy reported.

Howdy all, slept late today due to the painkillers. Not taking them again unless I absolutely have to. 84 here and light clouds, awfully pretty outside. No coffee today but did have some mashed potatoes for lunch.

Since moving to Florida in 2018, I've had four teeth pulled. They wanted me to get Implants or Bridges. At my age, I said "no way". The missing teeth are in the back where you can't see them.
