Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Max Trailboss load in 1885 Highwall .32-40

Hey Jim,

Thanks for that load reference. Yet, since Marlin was making the relatively weak black powder Model 1893 lever action rifles in .32-40 as early as 1893, I have to think that the Max Load listed for trailboss for that caliber tops out at what that rifle can safely handle, and not what the much more robust 1885 highwall rifle can handle. The highwall can easily handle conversions to modern calibers which I'm guessing have pressures twice as high as the original black power .32-40 round.

Perhaps I am wrong?

Anybody with a high wall want to chime in?

Thanks again,

Mannyrock
