    Default .40-70 SS loads with AA 5744

    I'm looking around for some loading data for use in a .40-70 SS, based on the Hornady .405 brass (trimmed & sized to 2.5"), to be used in a C. Sharps 1877 JP Lower Sporting Rifle - just received from the factory. With an 28" Badger lightweight octagon barrel, it weighs in at 8 1/2 lbs.

    Bullet weight is 350 grs, and desiring to use AA 5744 powder.

    Any information is greatly appreciated.

    regards, outsidebear

    you can call accurate arms also. i called them about using aa1680 in a 38-55 and they were most helpful.
