.38-56 Winchester

Post by cat1870 »

Hello All:
I'm loading for my Win.1886, .38-56 using cast bullets. Anyone know of a source for smokeless powder loading data?

Thanks in advance.

I've been using 38-55 load data in my 38-56 chambered Marlin 1895. I went beyond it but started seeing some primers backing out. I'm using Quality Cartridge brass.

I use 24g IMR4895 (ADI 2206) pushing a 270g plain base lead bullet in my marlin 1895 38-56. This is the load I use for Lever action silhouette.
