« on: February 16, 2004, 05:05:20 PM »
Looking for an easy load on the shoulder for learning my new gun! Any good starting places? got some 405gr jrn but thats heavy enough to kick back.

:D   Try 25 grs of IMR 3031  or better yet 50 grain load of FFG; smoke but not a lot of kick

Try  400grain cast with about 23 grains of accurate 5744. Crimp with a Lee Factory crimp die. Works great in my 1886 carbine, and my buddies 1895 Marlin.
