Ive got a handful of the Hornady PA conical 50cal 240grain, i want to pop them off in the Shiloh sharps big fifty.

Im figuring a case full of trail boss should be the load ? lol .

I've only used 5744 and Buffalo Rifle in my 50-90 with 350 to 525g bullets.I use 30-32g.My velocity tracks good with Lyman 4759 loads below.

here is lyman smokless data.

I generally use 50-70 loads per lymans 47th, they are stiff enough for me.
