50-90

[OctaRon1]

Maybe I'm a little bit crazy but is anybody out there trying to load 50-90 with smokeless powder.
Any input would be appreciated.

No input. Post some pics when you get it worked out.

AA5744 should work. I don't load 50-90 but use it in 45-120. Also Trailboss for light loads.

Accurate Arms lists loads as does Lyman cast bullet manual. Mine shoots best with 470+ larger bullets.

Here is data from the Accurate 1999 load data i found on cast boolits It has 5744 data for the 50-90-2.5"

Gun C Sharps
Barrel 30"
Primer Fed 215
Case Eldorado
MAXIMUM LOADS
Bullet Powder Grains Velocity
PEN365-FN 5744 43.0 1795
LY 440-SP 5744 38.0 1557
RCBS 550 5744 35.0 1411

But best to call Accurate yourself.
