[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2182065, member: 109994"] Hi! . Now that I have all the components I need to load 45-90 for my gun, I think the only time I would ever shoot 45-70 cartridges out of it is if I were in some sort of pinch in a hunting scenario and it was close range hunting. From what I could find, the people who have done it said the accuracy wasn't great, and it ended up being harder to clean because they had to clean that length of chamber, and it was much more likely to lead the barrel heavily if shooting cast. It might take a bit of searching, but I highly recommend loading for that gun. The only rounds I've seen available for 4590 or $3 per round and very hard to come by. I would also recommend shooting gas checked bullets if you want to put a heavy load of smokeless in there. How about some pictures of this new gun?? [/QUOTE]
