I was recently asked to provide some loads for an original Winchester 1873 Lever Action Rifle in 44WCF. The rifle is in very good condition and was used for most of its life in Pentridge Prison, Melbourne Victoria.
I have a LYMAN Die Set and Lube sizer die for this calibre but nothing else at this time. I currently have the LYMAN 44/40 Cowboy boolit on order but no delivery time. I can find a shooter locally who loads for this calibre but not certain what molds he has.
I am seeking a mild load to protect the rifle for the furture. the owner is not heavily into shooting these firearms and only wants some loads so he can have an occasional shot. through this and the 1886 mentioned in the previous thread.
Any ideas?
