1886 45-90, I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHAT GAME YOU WILL BE AFTER WITH THOSE BIG BORE HEAVY LOADS. Whales or has something big and bad been eating ele bulls or snacking on Kodiak bears? If so and you need backup, I can bring my .45-90 ele rifle. Well you were a big help in getting my .45-90 up to snuff. B...

It’s the 50/90 Sharps case that has a base diameter of 0.565. The 50 AK is just a shortened 50/110. Doing what your proposing is the same as shooting a 38 spec in a 357, only the 50 Ak is tapered and will slump to the bottom of the chamber, so may affect accuracy. I prefer not to use shorter brass ...

I received the new Starline cases, and they seem to be the same at the Starline .50-110 cases in every dimension but length. Here's a .50AK case on the right along side a .50-110 case. The .50-110 case has a 510gr Cutting Edge solid. The .50AK case has a 535gr A-Frame with the nose flattened to give...

My objective is to allow the feeding of bullets that would give an OAL longer than an 1886 could feed if a .50-110 case were used. For example a 535gr A-Frame with the nose flattened has an ogive to tip length of about 0.5"

Measuring cases, a Starline .50-110 case has a base diameter of .543. A sized case with my .50-110 CH4D dies is the same. I measured a fired case and got maybe .5435, maybe .543 just eyeballing it. That was with a softball ~35KPSI nitro load. I don't have a cast for my chamber. My first thought is t...

Is it possible to use .50 Alaskan cases in a modern manufacture .50-110 for bullets that have a longer nose than will feed through an 1886 action with full length cases? I can't think of anything wrong with this - on par with using .45-70 cases in a .45-90 or the short Hornady cases in a .45-70, but...

Mine is silver soldered on, and the blade and base are one piece. It's an unfortunate setup, since the sights from the factory are pretty much invisible.

Blaine - you said = "Don't hold back" so here goes: I was not sure if this was another of your great jokes/puns or if you were serious! :) If a joke, it amused me. :D If you were serious, there were so many (hundreds, maybe thousands) of things to know or say that I just gave up. :cry: :o...
