I had recently purchased an original Winchester Model 1887 1

It will handle any non-steel modern load.

Is there a certain brand that has this type of load or would you recommend that I do my own loading?

>>32382304
I would not ask here.. Someone on a SASS forum would know.

Thanks

Just look for lead or bismuth loads. If you feel like waterfowling stick to bismuth or possibly some of the tungsten matrix shells.

Well the one huge concern I have is case pressure. Are modern smokeless powder rounds completely fine with a light load

>>32382382
Even with heavy loads.
Case pressure standards are the same between black powder and smokeless.

>>32382304
Isn't it generally a bad idea to use smokeless powder in a black powder gun period?

>>32382439
Only if you are a complete idiot and try loading the same amounts.
Smokeless is 3-6 times mmore efficient per grain so smaller amounts are needed to reach the same pressures.

I figured out if you sign up for SASS it uses your Fallout nexus profile...

>>32382451
That is what I know so far.

I would love imagine it's safe so long as you use the dram equivalency.

>>32382304
yeah i have one also, i will post photo's after work if this thread is still around.
judging from the picture mine has a much longer barrel though...fuggin beast.

>>32382304
So it's a model 1887 and not a model 1901?

If it's a model 1901 it should be absolutely fine, they were re-designed to handle smokeless powder shells.

Just like OP's mum
