350 grain at about 1600FPS.

Wondering about loads and leading.

I've got some of those loaded over some Trail Boss for practice. Haven't fired any yet.

If you contact Oregon Trail on the website, they'll send you some Trapdoor and Marlin-level data; not a lot, but something to start you off. I'm thinking of the 350s at 1500-1600 for deer, probably over H4895, because I have a fair amount, but a number of powders will get you there.

What fresh Hell is this?
