    Lee Dipper for the carbine puts out 14gr of 4227.

    Thanks Guys lots of real good info coming here. I guess I'm lucky my stock looks like **** but fits the barreled action very well with no noticable play on either end. I've built and beeded a number of rifle and Muzzle loaders stocks in my day and might do some work on this Carbine after I locate a nice Pot belly stock to work off of.

    The load info will be very useful I picked up a pound of IMR 4227 and WW 296 to work some loads up with. I'll be shooting a 110gr FMJ, 110gr HP, and 110gr cast copper coated, and working up 3-4 loads for various use. Should be a lot of fun.
