So I am starting to load for the 92 Rossi.
Wondering if anyone is using 231 under 158RN lead and 158 Plated extremes, as I have lots of 231.
Looks like about 5.3gr. should be a good place to start.
I also have lots of Power Pistol.
Any pet loads using these powder bullet combo's.
Failure is not an Option
4 grains 231 and a 158 RNFP is my go-to load for pistol cartridge lever gun silhouette in my Rossi 92. Super mild load, but enough to reliable knock down rams, and very accurate. Would make a great gallery load for the kids also, as the rifle recoils like a .22 rimfire.
Have quite a few target loads on hand with 3.5 231 under a 158 gr SWC. Plenty for paper or other plinking activities.

Some of my favorite recipes start out with a handful of depleted counterbalance devices.
Any chronological info on those loads? Looking to stay subsonic..
Under 1100fps in my 92
