11.35 X 53 Beaumont Rifle

[TreeKiller]

I have a 11.35 X 53 Beaumont Rifle 50-90 Brass trimmed and sized in a CH4D 11.35 X35 die then fire formed to the chamber measure .485 OD at the neck end of the case and a ID of .460. The bore slugs at .454 the rifle just has a big throat.I load the 405 lee as cast at .462.
The original load was a 360g boolit and I would like to try the NOE 454-350 or Lee 460-350.boolit before I buy the mold. or do you have any other suggestions in what to try. I think that any 45/70 light Boolit will work.
If you have a Beaumont rifle what do you use?
I posted this in the Boolit exchange and only got I reply and they only had heavy Boolits for a 45 long Colt.
Thank you
Dan

I have had good results with the Lyman 445599 hollow base paper patched to over bore size with 31g of 4198 and filler.

Thank you will look in to that one.

Your right any 45/70 OR ANY 45 Will work. I have 3 Beaumonts. with the same load and Boolit . all shot in different direction. . They are Great rifles but after the Dutch got rid of them They all Went to some Ungodly country . and No one knows What they did to them.
There Fun and I enjoy shooting them.. I have used .451,.452, .454,. 457,.459.

I use the Lee 452-255-RF. I don't shoot it enough to justfy buying a different mould. I only use smokey powder. It is fun to shoot.

I was using 4198 . . I did not like using filler . I have used them , Paper filler, corn meal, Dacron. The switched to 777 . works great. . Just followed recommendations and go.
very good results

I got a nice Beaumont for free! (Provided that I work a BP load for it. No prob!) He provided all of the dies and .50-90 brass to make the cartridges which I did. I'm working w/ several of the various diameter bullets he provided. I have a number or the .457 Lyman bullets to use. Nice rifle. I'll keep you posted.
