I was shooting 2400 in my old Marlin 94 rifle with a 180 gr cast
Sharp's manual calls for rifle loads of 17 gr-1340 fps, 21 gr-1715 fps, 23.6 gr-1940 fps, but I think I settled on 16 grs as most accurate. His load for Unique is 8 gr-1300 fps with a max load of 10.2 gr-1555 fps - . These loads were too hot in my Colt .
He list rifle loads and separate revolver loads. With revolver loads and Unique for a 180 gr cast as being:
6 gr-720 fps, 8 gr-930 fps, and 9.2 gr-1040 fps. No loads are listed for 2400 for revolvers.I had luck with Universal Clays.
Those old rifles you need to slug the barrel.I had John Walsh in Washington state reline my barrel.
A application of Dyna Tek will help those old bores for fouling and accuracy.
