Thanks Dober, it's fun to read this thread again. I hope you are enjoying you Trapper, they are a bunch of fun. John Barsness has a favorite load that works very well in my Trappers and Carbines. About 42 grains of Reloder 15 with a 170 grain bullet. I use LaserCast bullets for cast bullet shooting. With cast bullets a 165 to 170 gr. cast with GC, over 10 grains of Unique works great. Velocity is about 1650 fps from a 20" barrel and just slightly slower from the 16" barrel.
