Are you sure that a one grain increase of powder upped the velocity 600FPS?
I have never seen such an increase in any of the centerfire cartridges I load for.

Yep and that's why I stopped. I was expecting an increase of 100fps. 63grs of IMR 4198 netted me 1426fps this morning with a much cleaner burn. This is the first time I have used close cell foam backer rod in my loads. I thought maybe that had something to do with it but it didn't seem to make any difference with 4198. At any rate I am not going to push my luck. There are too many different powders out there.

Have you tried Trail Boss?

Haven't had a chance yet. Rain has set in, but I am going to throw some tomorrow to try with the 4198. Thanks for the reminder.

As promised her are some pic's of the rifle. The sharps in the first photo is there for scale. It is a 50/90 C Sharps with a 32" heavy barrel. I finished loading rounds for testing when it dries out. Loaded some trail Boss at 70% case capacity to 90%. Loaded one round each and ran outside between rain drops and fired them over the chronograph. Topped out at 1366fps. At 100% it didnt show any gain over 90% so I loaded three rounds each at 70%' 80% and 90% to try out when it dries out. My pic's didn't load so I will have to try again

That's a nice looking rifle. I know Winchester is offering the 76 (IIRC) and Turnbull is doing the case colors. I've toyed with the idea of one in maybe 44-40 but I doubt I'll do anything about it. I have two Winchester lever guns and haven't shot either one

The 1873 was made for the pistol cartridges, and the 1876 was for the longer cases.
Its a nice looking '76, Wayne. I like the colors. I have an original and wish it showed the colors yours shows. |
