Hi everyone!
I have a new version Winchester 1873 and 44-40. I am interested in using soft lead cast (160 grains) for a super light plinking load. I'm talking barely getting out of the barrel, very silent load. Thinking maybe 400 to 500 ft. per second. Basically a backyard 22 plinker for a lack of a better terms. The rifle does have a 24-in barrel. I do have a lot of trail boss and all the fast powders and I do have quick load. According to quick load, 2.5 grains of trail Boss would get it out at 500 feet per second. The problem is I don't want to risk it and bullet stuck in the barrel. Any suggestions?
