Those powders are a bit fast burning for the 16" rifle barrel in my 94AE. I had great results with H-110 and 11FS in my rifle. Another thing that made a huge difference in my groups was removing the buckhorn site and installing a rear peep. Groups shrank by 1/2. The rifle shoots 1" @ 100

what ever shoots best in YOUR rifle

When loading for my Rossi 92 in 45 lc I use Accurate Arms #9 20.6 grs I think.250 gr Hard Cast bullet with a Brinell hardness of 20-21.
Not the most accurate lever rifle but at 100 yards I can hit extremely close to point of aim.I'm guessing 1 to 1 1/2 inch groups.

Yes in deed. A-9 also shot good in mine also but with jacketed bullets. Good speed also.

I use VV N110, 20 grains under a 265 grain LBT long round nose flat point. Nice accurate load. No trouble hitting a pepsi can at 100 yards.

I reload my own cast bullets and also jacketed and my go to powder is Unique.

I try to keep Unique around as it has been getting the job done for many years!

Thanks Old Rooster. I've found it to be a universal powder for lots of uses.

Lil' gun works well in rifle loads as well, with the longer bbls.
