50-110 WCF in Turnbull Browning '86, 2.985" with 600gr cast bullet from Brooks mould, .585" of bullet out of the case, runs great.
Sir Jerry, Buy a donkey for that. I wonder if Mr. Turnbull had to do anything fancy to get a COL of 2.985" to work through a Browning '86 .50-110 WCF ?
I have a .45-70 Browning '86 and have not gotten the "longCOL" dummies for that made up yet, will see how far it will go. Interesting that with a brass length of 2.145" for Johnson's .450 Alaskan, a COL of 2.985" allows a bullet projection of 0.840". That is exactly same as for the .458 WM with max BL of 2.500" and COL of 3.340".
For the .45-70 Long Throat of Bob Mitchell, with 2.105" max BL and COL of 2.985", bullet projection is 0.880". Bob's throat was not quite as long as that of the SAAMI .458 WM, he never specified it that I know of. Putting the SAAMI .458 WM throat on a .45-70 Government would have to be called a .45-70 LT+ as a specifier.
