RE: Tic toc
That should make a fine long range shooter. The .45-90 is a good caliber.
If it wouldn't take so long getting one build I would probably order one in the .44-77 or the .44-75 Ballard using my reamer for it. Getting behind my Axtell 77 feels different than getting behind a 74. The grip and the smaller wrist just feels good but at 10# the .45-2.6 gets a little punishing after a box of rounds is empty the 2.6 is to much of a good thing.

I just purchased a rifle with a Meacham Highwall action in 45-100 with a Ron Smith gain twist SS barrel ending in a 16 twist. It’s at my FFL dealer. Hopefully get it in a few weeks. Gonna try out some PP loads.

RE: Tic toc
Steve Fogler and Bryan Youngberg both certainly make the 45-100 a tough cartridge to beat.
I like the 2.4 case, this is rifle #3 so chambered. I'm hoping that what we learned in Phoenix that rounds loaded for a Shiloh in 45-90 worked well in my hi wall, will continue on when this 77 gets here. It'll make having to sort cases a nonissue..

RE: Tic toc
Jim venture out to the High Plains Money match in Byers over the 4th of July weekend, with a bit of luck we'll get to see the rifle and whether I can make it shoot or not.
