Still looking for a 32-40 to add to the collection. Probably have brass and dies before I get the rifle.

Way cool rifle Dgunnut. Bet you will have a lot of fun with it. Where as your Aunt delivered it to you. Does it have family history?

dgunnut, Lyman Reloaders hand book, 43rd Edition has a load useing IMR4227, with 175 gr. cast. 14 gr. for plain base, 14.5 gr. for gas checked. Burn rate is almost idetical to H4227, Ya should be able to use that data to develop loads with your 170 gr. bullets Twink

According to the "Ideal Hand Book", 22nd edition, Min. bore dia. is .320, max. is .3205. Smart moved would be to swage the bore. Twink
