461 GIBBS #2

I will post this here as well.

Had a note forwarded from a gentleman looking for load data either black powder or smokeless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

From Bill Fleming's "British Sporting Rifle Cartridges" original Gibbs loads were a 360 gr paper patched hollow point over 100 gr of black and a match load of a 570 gr paper patched round nose over 90 gr of black.  No smokeless/cordite load is mentioned for either the Gibbs #1, #2 or the Turner #8 .461.  Hope this helps.
