black powder cartridge rifles

blackpowder cartridge guns

Having loads of fun shooting my double in 577/500no.2 Been trying 5744, but actually really hard to beat the original regulated load of 5 drams (136gr) blackpowder!
Recently aquired a chaparal arms in 45-120. Still experimenting with loads in this one, but BP is hard to beat!

Winchester 1886 (first year production) in 45-90/45-70 and 1886 (1909) in 40-82. Out of curiosity just HAD to shoot them BP enough to understand why Smokeless was invented...! Now have settled on loads using 5744 as BP substitute for both. Also loaded some BP 44-40 for the 1873's. LOTTSA SMOKE'N FUN but ...
