[QUOTE="shaughn, post: 2962179"] I should mention the 2 bullets shown are both better suited to hunting, the target bullets are more areodynamic..haha...and can be up to 2 inches long and need twist rates of 1 in 16 to 1 in 14 in 45 caliber. 44 and 40 also have quite a following but that tends to be a bottle neck style of cartridge. A long past friend had the 50-90 Sharps and he had it with a modern rifling twist and launched 750 grain PP Gibbs nose style alloyed lead bullets out of it, knocked you out from under your hat when you fired it and his weighed 20 pounds, he hunted Bison and Elk with it. He affectionately named it Big Bertha... [/QUOTE]
