I'm thinkn' 45-90???
« on: February 15, 2009, 11:36:10 AM »
Hey guys I just got a custom built 45-70 RB, on an antique action. Its a 10 lb. 4 ounce rifle with a 33 inch barrel. I havent checked the twist and the guy I got it from didn't even know what brand of barrel it is.
 I already have two 45-70's andwas thinking I need a little variety so I was thinking of a reaming to 45-90. Does anyone here shoot that cal. and are they cantankerous???? Thanks, Ed

Longknife,
I've had a 45-70, 45-110. I have a 45-90 Shiloh Sharps now. When I had it on order, I was wanting a 50-90. The more I read the more I became convinced a 45-90 would be the best choice for me. I have never been disappointed with my decision. I shoot both black and smokeless loads. If you use the correct diameter bullet, they are as straight forward as any others of that type. 

Thanks,
glc56

Did you get your 45-90?  May be able to help you out on a good one.  Used to shoot with a guy that swore by a 45-100, his scores reflected its success,  it did require a grease cookie.

No I haven't got one yet, I was considering getting a reamer and re-chambering a 45-70 that I have. I would buy a gun though, if the price is reasonable. Thanks, Ed
