Here is a basic probable pressure timeline from 1874 to 2022
It shows that when Winchester switched from smokeless rifle powders to smokeless pistol powders, performance suffered.

Bryan, I saw your posts on Ky Hunting Forum. I often read there since I live in KY, but I don't participate to the forum. Great info, in depth, well done, very interesting! I love mountain Hunting, only type I have available. Shot my Mod 94 sat, in the woods, just fun Hunting practice. But you make me wish I had a 73 to do some serious lever Hunting!
Ky has allowed a Lotta season times, to crossbows, muzzloaders, archery, and that's good, I think it great. No doubt due to lobbying for sales of such equipment, and again I ain't knocking none it, we got plenty game!
But I sure wish they'd have a like early season, say Oct, for the old hyphen calibers & guns! The crossbow season is to liberal if you ask me, half it and share equal time to the old original hyphen guns. The crossbows are just as deadly, and take a Lotta game that should be shared!
But all your posts make me realize one thing for sure? Put all your post back to 1970-77, to where I could've read them then. I'd be dying for a 73, at least a levergun similar, and to hunt deer with them! I know for sure! And young people of today would benefit so much more all around by seeing these, applying it to their dreams, way life!

Good data for sure, and the reason I run smokeless in my original 71/84 Mauser made in 1888. Much lower pressure then BP, same velocity, easier on the gun, burns cleaner, less worry about corrosion. What's not to like??? -Tutt
