My maternal grandfather, Victor, had a Colt Peacemaker in 38-40 that has been passed down to my brother and I.
Recently, I have been loading trapdoor loads for my 45-70 (see future updates in the "Rifle shooting with my neighbor" thread) using "Trailboss" powder and I figured that it would be a good powder for my Grandfather's gun.
My grandfather was no gunslinger, he was a generous, church going, cotton farmer although he would kick all challengers at dominos. He mentioned that he used to tuck the gun into his belt when he paid the farm hands on Friday.
I'm anxious to work up some loads for my grandfather's gun using "Trailboss" but I would also like to find a modern lever action rifle to load for.
I see old, high priced Winchester rifles and modern reproductions guns from Turner and Pedersali for crazy high collector prices. Are there any modern manufacturers producing 38-40 rifle or pistols these days?
