    I posted a ton of info over on Snider-Enfield Forum - Old Guns - British Militaria Forums - Message Board - Yuku

    I find that either a very few grains of a moderately fast pistol powder like Unique, or about 30.0 grs of a slow pistol powder like H4227 worked well for me.
    Awesome info, thanx!

    What a treat to peek back into this website and discover some great info on reloading these beasts with modern powders.
    As I also have zero interst in using BP, and taking this old girl apart more then I have to.

    Someday I hope I can go Deer hunting with this rifle.
