Wanted: Browning 1886 SRC, 45/70, High Grade (or Gr.1). Vasa

Thanks everybody for your input to my question. I have reloaded for and used a number of magnum rifles over the years but my last one is a 7.21 Firebird (7mm Lazzeroni). It shoots well and reaches advertised velocities with IMR7828 and Re25. I also tried WMR. I have access to Ramshot Magnum...

I have read somewhere - I believe that it was on this forum that ball powders such as Ramshot Magnum will burn somewhat "cooler" than extruded powders and thus give an extended barrel life with high-capacity magnum rounds. Can somebody verify this or have an opinion about it? Vasa
