Slow Poke Posted July 20, 2024 Posted July 20, 2024 None of my reloading manuals have any 45-60 data. Can anyone suggest a reloading manual that has data? I would really appreciate a pointer to a good manual.

Griff Posted July 20, 2024 Posted July 20, 2024 Either Lyman's 4th Edition Cast Bullet or the 48th thru 51st Editions of their Reloading Handbooks.

Hoss Posted July 20, 2024 Posted July 20, 2024 I use a 305 Grn bullet with 12.0 Unique in my Uberti-Win 76. Works well

Some older books had Unique loads for 45-70. 14. 2 Unique for 45-70 is a fairly common load, I have an old Lyman book that shows it. And I’ve shot a bunch of them! I kinda worked down from there when I got the 45-60.

Bailey Creek,5759 Posted July 22, 2024 Posted July 22, 2024 I have a Original 76 and a Uberti both in 45-60. I use 14 1/2 Grain of Trail Boss, if you can find it. Also use 25 Grain of 5744. Both are accurate loads in both Rifles. For Black Powder I use a 300 Gr,Rcbs Gas Checked Bullet 62 Gr, of Swiss 1 1/2 also a good load.
