I have fiddled with reduced loads of the original powder (approx. IMR3031 speed) and the 147-gr. LPS bullets and cases from Albanian 7.62x54mmR. Loads of 27.0 to 32.0 grains in one-grain increments...

It could very well be. I know that when I was fooling around with subsonic J-word bullets, the first, cold-bore shot would be up to 200 fps slower than the rest of the shots in the group. At 50...

Dunno about that; I broke my decapping pin. :oops:

Shoot an email to Lee; they'll probably send you copies for free or send a scanned version.
If you'd like, I can get the information from Lee's book.

I haven't done much with Pyrodex in the .44-40, but after running 20 or so rounds through a Winchester, I found almost no fouling in the action at all. I still used Birchwood Casey black powder...

I couldn't find any data for the velocities you are interested in. I guess they think if you're shooting a Mangle 'em, you want Mangle 'em velocities.
Anyway, I found the following:

I'll look at old Fouling Shots, Handloader's Digests and Lyman manuals to see if there's anything useful. You may just want to start with squib .30-'06 loads and add a half-grain or so of powder to...

Is the problem "crunchy" measuring combined with wide variations in charge weight or just(!) wide variations in charge weight? I put a longer handle on my measure and variations in charge weight and...

That looks like a pretty hefty barrel. What's the all-up weight of the rifle? The Fouling Shot author kept his as a single shot; getting that magazine to feed must have been a real...

It looks like sargenv is right; there were only field loads listed for Solo 1500. I did not include the 16-gauge data. Let me know if you need it.
