Was supposed to stop a Buffalo but I don't think it did to good a job of it unless you emptied all 10 rounds into it. Should take care of a deer.

Did you ever try the Trail Boss? I have my 16's loaded so I'm going to give it a try in my Ruger #1 450-400 NE and a 200gr+/- pistol bullet.

Yea I did, but the velocity was lo and the accuracy was only so so. I may try it again since I reworked the bullet mold and there may be an improvement in accuracy.

Wayne, what is the weight of your cast bullets? I have some 330 grain plain base bullets on the way from Montana Bullet Works. They are sized .515", which should work well with the Uberti .514" groove diameter. Winchester actually cataloged smokeless loads for the 50-95 in 1897 and 1898. I will be using IMR 4198.

Mark. You are about to have a lot of fun. 4198 is a good choice for powder. I am using 5/8" backer rod on top of my powder charge. I had to change sights on mine the Uberti sights just didn't work for me. My bullets cast at 350grs.(if I remember correctly).

black powder and jacketed bullets
Has anyone ever used black powder and jacketed bullets together? my point is the black is for not overloading the 1876 Winchester, the jacketed bullets for game.. plus I have a hoard of them..

Winchester cataloged quite a few cartridges that were loaded with black powder and 'metal patched' bullets.
