Dutch Beaumont
« on: March 17, 2016, 08:01:11 AM »
No, this isn't a lever gun, but it is a repeater. I have had this rifle for many years and just recently got it out and gently cleaned it. I got interested in it after reading that others were loading for and shooting the rifle.

Originally, I had tried to make brass from 45-70 cases, but 50-90 brass works much better.

After fire-forming, I loaded up a few cases. Haven't shot any yet.

As I recall, the bullets were about .446" and  395 grains. Powder charge about 75-80 grains. All this off the top of my head, but should be really close. L@J
