I have had good results with Oregon Trail Silver 405 gr-27.5 grs of 2400 -with a wisp of tissue to keep
the powder in place close to the primer. It pushes the 405 gr bullet to just under 1400 -about...

Interesting observations. Having spent time as both a Federal and state agent, retiring from the former-certain handgun rules apply: it absolutely
must function and be relatively accurate. The Kahr...

Snooky Williamson in his book "Winchester Lever Legacy" had some success with it. However, it
is prohibitively expensive and the results may be questionable.

Own 4 1886 Winchester 33 WCF rifles in various original configurations. Have been handloading for the 33 for about 30 years. Jacketed bullets work best

Own three 1886 rifles in 33 WCF. Two pieces of advice: Stick with the original 200 gr jacketed bullet weight and AVOID cast bullets,

I have some of these and I will try them in a S. Sharps, but NOT in my 1887 HW-SS Winchester.
