Well fellas, I hope I didn't start a topic on rifles that ain't allowed here. Or maybe I need to be more specific in my questions or wordeology. I guess what I really need to know is what kind a loads are you guys shootin' in your 45-70 '86 Winchesters? I have only shot factory rounds in my rifle but would like to know what cast bullet and powder charge using black powder are you finding works good in these rifles?  What kind a bullet lube works for ya?
Anybody else out there that shoots this big lever gun using the old timey powder and bullets? :D

Re-post your query on the 'BROW' forum - you'll have far better luck, there.
