Safe and accurate loads in original Winchester 1873s and old Colts are either 6 grains of Bullseye or TiteGroup, 6.5 grains of 231, WST or 452AA, or 7 grains of Unique with the RCBS 44-200CM, or Accurate 43-206H, cast 1 to 30 tin-lead and sized .430". These all approximate factory load velocity and are proven safe.

The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
The action is the old 1860 Toggle Link design ... not the strongest ...
Use loads that would be proper for the Colt 1873 SA revolver and Winchester 1873 Rifles / Carbines .
The loads should not exceed 13,700 CUP , Lyman manual refers to these as Group 1 .
