Hello SSS,

Received this question today - what loads work best in the 56-50 Armisport Spencer? -  I don't own a 56-50 Repro or original - although, I'm beginning to think maybe I ought to get myself one - but, anyway, will you please answer the question for me so I can pass it along.

Thanks,

Two Flints

I don't know a lot, but been  loading 35 gr of 2F with bullet from  B Arms, they shoot fine but I have only been plinking so far. The sights shoot high  but costient. What do the others load..Loco

If you go back to some of the earlier topics and posts here in the SSS, there we several concerning loads using both black powder and smokeless along with various bullets being used.  You should be able to find quite a bit of info in these archives.
