45 / 60 ?

[Johnch]

Dad wants to shoot his Winchester 1876 in 45/60 again
As I understand it , I can trim 45/70 brass
So I will just trim some of my "Short" Hornady brass .... and trim it enough to seat the bullet so I can use the crimp grove

I have a 300 gr plain base bullet , so I will be able to load what was factory loaded years back

But dad wants a safe smokeless load


So I will ask , what would be a safe starting load
LOL I have way to many powders , so I should have or can get it

Thanks
John

My suggestion would be Trail Boss it seems to be ideal for such loadings.
Not sure who makes it but a quick search and instruction on how to determine charge weight and you should be gtg.

Thanks

I will try Trail Boss
Even better is I have it

So Dad will be happy
