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
Just my 2 cents but you can split the difference and try some Blackhorn 209..Been getting good accuracy with it in my '86 45/90 of late. Velocities/recoil are close to BP but cleanup is much easier. If interested go to their web site for cartridge loads.
