Anyone have Cartridges of the World 17th edition?
I talked to a guy at Buffalo Arms, and he told me it listed handloads for the 50-95 lever action, but they didn't have the book in stock. I hate to spend $40 to find out it does not. If anyone has this book, can you take a look for me?

I have the 10th addition and it does have the 50/95 in it. I started to post a screenshot of it, but then I realized that I would be violating the reproducing laws for the book. So, I am hesitant to post a screen shot.

It would just be the same as already posted above, so no reason to. I have the 9th edition and it's the same as already posted.Lastmohecken wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2026 2:46 pm I have the 10th addition and it does have the 50/95 in it.

Thanks guys. It sounds like they all list the same IMR 4198 loads.

Yep, looks like they used to load a 285 grain bullet with 26 grains of 4198 for 1420 feet per secondCrazy Horse wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2026 10:36 pm Thanks guys. It sounds like they all list the same IMR 4198 loads.
and a 350 with 23 grains for 1350 feet per second.
Winchester had a factory load at one time, with a 300 grain bullet going 1557 feet per second.
Those loads were pretty good for the time.

I have the 17th, and yes, those are still the two loads listed.

Re: Anyone have Cartridges of the World 17th edition?
4198 is my favorite powder for all my old single shot cartridges I reload. Just one of the finest BP alternatives ever made. I use either IMR or Hodgdon equally as Hodgdon owns both names and their tech told me the powders are identical.Crazy Horse wrote: ↑Sun May 10, 2026 10:36 pm Thanks guys.
