PeteM;
In the Rifleman article all (4) loads are stated to have been a 3-1¼-7½ load. Thus 3 dram wt of black, 3 dram measure of bulk & a 3 Dram Equivelent of the smokeless. Was this not stated anywhere in Coxe's data. I "Assumed" the Rifleman author had gleaned this from the original data. This would have been a service load & not a proof one at this level.
In fact heavier loads are listed in the 1913 Lefever Arms Co catalog for Ballistite, DuPont Bulk & Black, I don't think MX & Oval were around yet at that point in time.
