    Anyone have a good load for 45-75 Winchester

    I am a newbee for sure to reloading, did some in the 70's for 300 win mag, then cam kids and life and now find myself retired and back in the 70's again in a different way, if you know what I mean, Anyway going to try my hand at 45-75 Winchester. I am wanting to use smokeless and can not find a load for it or if I have to add something to take up the space in the shell if the powder is not larger enough. Anyone with experience please share

    Ten plus pages of load data on the CAS City forum or the 45/75:

    IMR 4198 has worked very well in mine. Shooters World Buffalo Rifle and Trail Boss also has worked well in mine. Your biggest challenge will be the brass.

    i embarked on my '76 project with similar intent - my rifle shot so well with straight Blackpowder I lost interest in smokeless - never got there
