I’ve got a Ruger Number 1 SS/Laminate that was a 45-70 and was rechambered to 45-90 I haven’t gotten a chance to give fresh air yet, but man, I’ve got a pile of Starline brass for it and it may give the 458 Win a run for its money in that #1!
Likin this thread! I’m ready for Gunner to put some 450’s on steel at 1100+! I know the old boy has it in him!
If you have enough throat you will have no problem equaling the SAAMI .458 WM with your 2.4" cased 45-90. Your shoulder will let you know when you get there with a 7.25-pound pounder. I did the same with the Starline brass .45-2.6" for .45-100. My 7.25# Ruger No. 1 was re-chambered from .45-70 Govt. factory rifle to .45-70 Elko Magnum aka .45-100 Sharps Winchester Throated. Yes, I re-invented the wheel, exactly.
