need 45/75 WCF loading data

dsmc1

Just bought an 1876 Winchester in 45/75WCF, bought some brass and a set of Lee dies, and discovered the "Load Chart" is not on the other side of the instructions where Step 4 says it should be.
The only load I have found so far is 24 gr of 4198 with a 350 bullet in Cartridges of the World,4th edition.
The die kit came with a .3cc powder scoop, but 24 grains of 4198 would require a 1.9cc scoop per the Lee chart in their Powder Measure Kit, which I have.
I'm assuming there are other options, including a full case of black powder.
Am I missing something? Any leads to Loading data for this cartridge would be appreciated.
Thanks, Dave

I thought I'd be able to help you out, I checked Phil Sharpes Handloading book but the load data goes from 45-70 to 45-90, skipping the 45-75. It mentions the 45-75 regarding bullet weight and diameter, but alas no load data. Actually, it wouldn't have made any difference, the loads listed for the 45-70 and 45-90 were for powders long out of production such as 17 1/2 and Sharpshooter.

76's are just big 73's strength wise. I shot a 45-60 one some back in the 70's. My mentor used only Unique for all black powder cartridge loads in weak actions like trapdoors.
