All I have shot through it are some store bought 405 grain bevel base bullets.


Over 20 grains of Trail Boss of all things!


Kids get a kick out watching me fling them big cases out though!




Woody, I would like to venture into the single loading world next. Those big Sharps riles look too interesting to pass up.


I want it to be a zip code gun though. One with 5 digits.



45-100 at the minimum!

I love my Miroku .45-90, but there's nothing it can do that a .45-70 can't that I would want to do in a light, crescent butt straight stock rifle. Some people say they're comfortable, but I don't find that to be true. Give me a recoil pad and a pistol grip. The lever jumping back into your hand sucks.

In my opinion the hot nitro loads benefit a lot from a rifle set up a specific way.

Will 45-70 dies work for your 45-90? If they do then that is a plus as about every one makes 45-70 dies.

Congratulations on the new rifle!
This talk of a shotgun butt replacement interest me. I have 2 of the Browning 1886 High Grade rifles in 45-70 and the crescent butt does not agree with me. Where would a fellow begin to look for a shotgun butt replacement? Any chance of finding one with High grade wood?
Thanks all,
Rick

Gunner500 sold me a carbine style butt for my 45-70.


I had to do a lot of inletting to get it to work with the new style safety and hammer set up.


Worked good though.


I have thought about giving Winchester a call. They are making a rifle right now with a shot gun style butt. Wondered if they would sell one.



A shotgun butt and a Galco leather pad would work pretty well. The Galco adds some much needed LOP.
