[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 158516, member: 2736"] [ QUOTE ] Thanks JE ill start looking around for a good smith ill email some of the ones that frequent this site.. i dont plan on shooting BP with this rifle thanks again Jim [/ QUOTE ] Jim A word of caution: Going to a 45/90,45/100 or any of the larger cases and using smokeless could be dangerous. The reason for going to a larger case is to increse velocity with black powder or a clone(like tripple 7) The factory 45/70 loads are between 1200ftps&1300ftps that use smokeless powder for safety in old rifels or replica's. Only modern rifles like the browning or ruger can use high pressure loads. If you dont like black powder use something like tripple 7, My 45/110 pushes a 450gr barnes x to 1900ftps with 95 grs of tripple 7 and does not fowl the barrel. I have shot up to 620gr cast bullets using tripple 7 and it worked well, best group to date is a 5 shot 1.137 at 100rds and 5 shots at just over 9" at 600rds . So if you intend to shoot smokeless theres no need to go any larger than a 45/70. Pedersoli does not recomend the use of smokeless on any of there larger(45/90,45/100,45/110 or 45/120s). So be careful [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
