- Sharps New Model 1863 Cartridge Conversion point of aim
70 grains of BP with a 450-grain bullet should duplicate the original government load, even though some people have reported difficulty squeezing that much powder into a modern-made case (not as much internal volume as the original balloon-head cases) Cartridges of the World cites a muzzle velocity of 1260 fps (with the full-length rifle barrel, I imagine)
- 38-55 | The High Road
With the new 45-70 cases now available, I figured that case capacity as compared to the old balloon head cases was less, so less powder was needed As it turned out, the rifle did not shoot well until I reached a load of 70 gr of 1 1 2 Swiss and 500 gr bullet The load equal to the original military load for the Trap Door
- Upgrading to Dillon 750 | The High Road

- Case Head Separation? | The High Road
Case head separations with once or twice fired brass is generally caused from excess headspace, whether mechanical, or artificially induced by over sizing (Pushing the shoulder back too far ) I would have a gunsmith check the gun for mechanical headspace If it gets a clean bill of health, which is likely, you need to look at your sizing
- Incipient Head Sep on first firing | The High Road
I have some once-fired LC brass that I'm reloading Headstamped 02 for 2002 manufacture One of them, having only been fired once in a rifle that is headspaced correctly (and does not currently have headspace issues) has that telltale bright ring right above the case web I've only been
