45-70 loads for browning 1885 high wall Login/Join

Hi,

looking to get the most out of this rifle with some high BC bullets (e.g. barnes 350)

anyone have data for the loads compatible w/ the browning 1885 hi wall/Ruger 1 (but not the lever guns)???

also, the barnes originals look like they could be interesting with this, but I haven't seen them anywhere, any sources?

thanks!

I use 51 grains of reloader 7 and a 350 grain Hornady round nose in my High wall. The recoil is pretty stout.

I've used 51.5 gr 3031 with either a 350 gr Sierra bullet. It has wonderful accuracy- crisp recoil though. Its a good load for deer etc. I have used it with good success.

Please, work your load up......don't just jump into mine.......for safety's sake.

I have also used a very heavy load of 53.5 gr 3031 and the Speer 405 sp.....this load is very close to 458 win performance. I have used it in my Ruger #1, Marlin 1895, and the Browning.
