From the Lyman manual #45 the following info:
180 gr jacket bullet, max OAL 1.900"
Unique powder- start at 10.0 grs=1501'ps, max at 11.0 grs=1587'ps
2400 powder- start at 17.0 grs=1597'ps. max at 19.0 grs=1793'ps
IMR4227 powder- start at 17.0 grs=1400'ps, max at 19.5 grs=1751'ps
The test firearm was a Winchester 07 using the Remington bullet. The max load for the 4227 is a compressed load and most likely is beyond case capacity in that you probably can't put enough in it to do any damage. I would use caution with any old firearm and work up to the max loads if that is where you want to shoot this rifle. This same gun was my very first centerfire. I remember the recoil was more than I expected but then again, I was only ten years old. Unfortunately, it went away when my dad died and I was much too young to actually own a gun. I have been looking for one but the ones that are in great shape are expensive. Guess I'll just have to save up.
