12.5 grains of Trail boss with a 405 grain lead bullet. 45.0 grains 3031 with same 405 grain RNFP. I use both in my Pedersoli Sharps.

Not a Sharps, but a Pedersoli rolling block. I used 45 grains of 3031 behind a 405 RFP, and 43 grains of 3031 behind a gas-checked 500 grain RFP. Got the load data from my Lyman cast bullet manual. Both really good shooters, and both within trapdoor pressure parameters.
