Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers 50-110

To all-- So far, This post reminds me of a couple others in the recent past.

I went through all the calibers from .45-90 on up and chose the .45-90 for two reasons:
The 1886 45-90 is still available from Winchester and many of the larger lever calibers are rare and hard to find.
And there is little performance to be gained with a larger caliber over the .45-90.

My 1886 45-90 has performed well in Africa and America so there seems to be no practical advantage to a larger caliber.

Plus, the 45-90 also shoots the 45-70 well!
