4227 has been my starting powder on most everything 32/40 and under. I've always used 4759 in the larger cases such as 45/70. I also use Unique in the 45/70 in the 10 gr range and it shoots well in the 45/70. I've had my 40/63 for over 5 years but, have only shot it once and that was with the 10 gr Unique load. 6" 10 shot groups at 200 was the result. We don't have any 40+ matches here so, it hasen't been a priority. One other thing is that I only shoot breech seated. I don't and never have shot LR, BP fixed.

The only large case that I've used 4759 in is the 45/70 in three different charges. 28.0, 24.0 and 23.0 with a 430 gr spitzer bullet. Velocitys were 1518, 1376 and 1330 respectively. Groups were 2.27 (10 shots), 1.82 & 1.80 (5 shot) all at 100 yards. My best groups were a duplex smokeless and a 10.0 gr Unique at .60 and .81 respectively, again at 100 yards. Thats why the only time I had my 40/63 out that I used that same 10 gr charge of Unique. 40/63 reloading data is hard to come by, that why I asked for your load.

My only cartridge type single shot at the moment, a .375 H&H Number One. I use it for bear and elk hunting. The darned thing is surprisingly accurate, and dropped this bear at a tad over 300 yards.

This is a Trantor 'Little Monarch' 300 Rook rifle. I don't shoot her, just there to admire. To hold is an experience in itself, very slim and light. Wonder if you could make a stronger copy, being that these rooks are usually mild steel.


The T/C Contender carbine is very close. I wonder if they knew of the Trantor when designing the stock.

Here are a few more. They have less than half of their collection on display. Simply not enough space.

Sharps Model 1874, re barreled to a .45 not sure just what yet as it has not been shipped to me yet, next week I'll get it. Needs a complete rebuild but the barrel is a new one, not sure who the barrel maker was. Another project.

I'm new to the board and have enjoyed all of your pictures and unique rifles!  Here are some pics of the Stevens 44 1/2 that my great-grandfather purchased new in .22 LR for small-bore match shooting.  Came as a package with the J.C. Steven 6x scope and a mid-range Schuetzen rear sight - not sure of manufacturer.  It will be headed off to CPA soon to have a .30-30 WCF barrel and CF breechblock fitted.

Here's a teaser pic of the first schuetzen I've ever held, that I ended up buying.  I'm putting up a full thread on it shortly because I'm trying to gather any insight you pros might have on its history.
