Lyman 311008 cast of WW +Tin and pure lead @ 50/50% lubed with Alox and sized to .314 over 7 gr. 2400.
Super accurate very mild load. My Uberti 1873 24" rifle just loves it.

muleequestrian , My Uberti 73 in .45 Colt is marked Stoger on the barrel but is made by Uberti. Stoger is an importer and not the maker.

A little added info. My rifle is a Chaparral with 28" bbl.

I use no filler with 2400 or any other powder.
