Uberti '76 in 45-60 smokeless loads?

Have a friend who just got his Uberti 1876 in 45-60. He would like to know if anyone has any smokeless load data for 300 grain cast boolits.

contact the Single Shot Exchange magazine and ask for the July 2006 issue. It has a write up on the Chaparral 45-60. Save lots of money, you can use 45-70 dies. Trim to 1.94". Might have to thin the rims or have your gunsmith cut the rim recess .002-.004" deeper in the barrel.
