I'm almost positive. Which I think was fantastic. While it is way over capacity for the shorter barrels and such it can also manage the .50 Special, .510 GNR , .500 LB and Max. Just too much fun to pass up.

The .50-95 WCF is a neat little number, sort of a shortened and improved .50-70 Govt. The brass is just under 2" long for the big frame 1876 Winchester. It would make a fine big bore being low pressure and big capacity but honestly the straight wall AK is better all round or even the .510 GNR is all that's efficient in truth.

I can understand guys wanting exotic numbers. They will actually be quite collectable in the future. Most guys, in your position, just won't do the odd ones, that makes them rare.

Anyone here shoot .45-90? - Steve W, 2018-06-05, 19:47
