It is an 1886.

I talked to Turnbull several times on the phone about the loads

I talked to them about the bullets that I was going to cast and the possibility of changing from BP to Smokeless.

They informed me that there should not be a problem switching between the two. They recommended the 3130 powder and sent me some load data to get started with.

The BP should be pretty easy 45-90 (90 gr BP for max)

I would like to test the recoil with Smokeless to see how much I can take before I go to the BP.

I do know that the recoil from Smokeless and BP are different animals.

I am no stranger to BP just not in a case. I have only poured mine down the barrel. 50 cal Hawkins and 10Ga. Blunderbuss (this one gets your attention pretty quick with 80gr FF and a patched .760 ball What a HOOT. I hope that the 45-90 is as fun to shoot.

Thanks guy's for the clarification to my question
