I have a Browning (Japan) 1885 with 24″ barrel in .45 Colt cal. Reload data for long barrels seems rather scarce (or I’m not looking in the right places). Any suggested bullets & loads, or where to look online ?
Many thanks ! !

My personal favorite is about 37 grs Olde Eynsford FFFg black powder under a Lyman 452424 cast bullet lubed w/ SPG lube. I’ve a listing for 8.0 grs Unique under the same bullet but no range notes.

Mustang,
Hodgdon has loading info on line. http://www.hodgdonreloading.com They have data for the .45 Colt in a handgun. In my experience, add about 300 f.p.s. for the approx. velocity in a rifle.
