From Philip B Sharpe Complete guide to hand loading 1949

He listed nothing for 38-56, 38-70 40-65 and 40-70 or 40-82

We mainly load for the 1886 and use 5744 for 40-82-260. 45-90-300 and 50-110-300. We use 4198 for the other 86 Calibers..Bill

Any comments or questions are welcome Bill

Bill,

I use IMR 4198 for the 32-40, 38-55, 33 WCF, and 25-20 S.S. If I were to load for the 38-56, I would use 4198 for it as well.
