The original loads are usually quoted as being 40 gr. FFF/250 lead bullet. I'm assuming this was with the old balloon head cases and that 40 gr. won't fit in a modern solid head case...? I have only 25 or so balloon head cases, so will have to use modern cases, what will they hold?
It seems like an odd question, just try it, right? I've still got this fun & entertaining legal problem in effect that prevents me from possession ammunition or bp, so that's why I'm asking instead of trying for the time being. So... magnum primer, ~35 FFF, and a 250 gr. lead bullet? Can less-than-full-power loads be used if using a filler of some sort? I've never loaded bp cartridges before, he'p me!
