[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 605018, member: 2736"] The best velocity I can get with My 45/120 using 777 and a 628 grain Postell bullet has been an average of 1690 ft/sec. And the 45/110 using a 500 grain bullet with Shockley's is an average of 1500 ft/sec. All of my 45s are on a pedersoli Sharps action except the 45/120 that is built on a Browning 1885 High Wall. If you intended to use smokeless powder. I would recomend the browning, Ruger, or a bolt action even though the materials are modern the reproduction sharps may not handle the pressure of smokeless powder. I never chronographed the 50/140 with the 700 grain bullet but the reloading book said it was around 1355 ft/sec. The 550 grain produced 1700 ft/sec. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
