Snider loads

[Calum]

I have shot plenty of smokeless in my Snider as have many others. True, you can't be as brainless as you can with blackpowder (where full cases are generally safe), but if you are competent to reload smokeless in 30/06 (where mistakes can be costly), you can reload smokless for the Snider.

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.
