I had a 1886 repro by Browning a few years back.Killed few elk with using 400 gr Speers I think they were. Could have been 405 Remingtons and 3031 powder. Kinda ho-hum . I got tired of lugging a 13 # rifle around. A person needs to pay attention to the three classes of loads for different types of rifles. Not sure,but I imagine anything commercial is downloaded for the least storngsetof the firearms like the old Springfield Trapdoor

If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
