Yes you can, not sure if you'll get very good accuracy though. My bertram and kynoch cases hold 110 grains of Elephant FG under the bullet but my 3 band's group opened up greatly from my 85 grain load.

Sounds good. I don't want to damage my rifle. Other loads , I found on the net, used filler. I loaded ten with 85 grains. I'll go ahead and shoot them. The 1F is a good idea. I'll buy a can. I would much prefer to avoid fillers. Should I get a mould for a thick skirt bullet? Maybe even modify the base pin for thicker skirts?

I own 2 Sniders (1873 MkIII & 1863 Mk1 Carbine) and also shoot them with turned brass. Go here for some great info specifically on Sniders http://pub182.ezboard.com/fbritishmilitariaforumsfrm2 they know their stuff.

(I see you already posted)

Your load will be just fine, but try and find a bullet of .590" for the best accuracy.

Can one use a case full of black without fillers and a Mine Ball, and without fillers? I am using turned brass. A case full is about 85 grains 2F.
