I think all the good ideas already been covered and recovered. For instance, 22hornet, 30/30, 30/40, 405 and 45/70.

The 416 Ribgy is too much of a good thing, I like the 450/400 and if that is not getting it done maybe the 450NE. I think they did a 9.3x74 which is probably more my No1 speed.

Have there ever been a 50 caliber No1? The 500 s&w mag might be a fun thumper. I hear these can really kick, so a 24" medium weight barrel might be a good idea.

Or old 50/110 Winchester if Hornady would oblige. Probably 50/110 is a non starter. What a great idea for the high wall and or both hi-wall and 1886. Wrong thread.... but really, how cool would a 50/110 be?


A .475 Turnbull, which I own, is a .50-110 necked down to .475, so certainly a .50-110 is a possibility. But I'm not sure if they could get away with that in a C weight barrel. Might have to be the D.
