wboggs.45 Long Colt loading data?
I have a Marlin Model 1894 lever action .45 Long Colt rifle on order (It is sweet and I cant wait) and my Speer # 14 Reloading Manual only shows Cowboy loads for the rifle in this caliber; there's plenty for my .45 Colt Ruger Blackhawk.
Does anybody have a source for loads for such a gun or load recommendations? I plan on using Alliant Unique as my powder (already using that for the revolver) unless there's a far better powder to use.

txhunter77Any load safe in your Blackhawk will be fine in the Marlin.
Now as far as powder goes my vote goes to Hodgdon H110 or Lil'gun.

You must not have looked all that much, there's 122 of them, you're welcome.

Indeed there are; thank you sir.
I used much tighter parameters but this opens up other possibilities.
