Loading for .45-90 question(s)...

[Tundra Tiger]

This may seem comically premature considering I don't own a rifle yet, but...

Anyone know a place for load data (or have some) for a modern Winchwster 1886 in .45-90? My online ninja skills have been performing poorly and Google is largely giving me a metaphorical middle finger. It occurred to me that a member here (CRS?) might have answers but he hasn't been on in a long while. Buffalo Bore has several offerings but my preference would be to load my own. One site I did see online, the guy said he used low end .458 WM data for his .45-90 (he has both).

Thanks in advance on any leads or information.

Get a Lyman manual, either the main one (the 51st) or the Lyman Cast Handbook, or the SPG reloading manual, or Mike Venturinos Shooting Buffalo Rifles of the Old West (or the Lever Gun version). I have all of them and would start with the main Lyman manual.

Do they have more powerful loads for modern rifles? For example, Buffalo Bore has a couple that cross the 4000 foot pounds threshold.

They do not.
