What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[Mags]

Ds, Steve a good friend and the guy I bought my 38-55 Cowboy from shared the data he had used in the rifle.
The unique load was one of his he shared, he also had pet loads for 2400 and 5744, and a 4198 which was his longe range load.

I did a little bit of looking. Appears that 10gr Unique could be about right for a lighter 245gr cast bullet.
Lyman 44th (1967). 7-9 gr under a 249 gr cast bullet.

Also here is a quote from CASTBULLETS (April 2008)

Lyman 42 says 10.6gr Unique with a 250gr cast bullet for 1310 fps
Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook says 7.0gr to 9.5gr Unique with a 249gr cast bullet (975-1170fps)
RCBS Cast Bullet Manual says 8.0gr to 9.0gr Unique with a 250gr cast bullet (1033-1176fps)

Thanks for that Mags. I have the 49th Lyman manual but it doesn’t mention anything about Unique in mine for 38-55. It does mention 4227 and 2400 in the 375

You're welcome. The 48th Lyman doesn't have it either.
