Thinking on a new rifle

[Gunlaker]

MustangGt I shoot mostly .45's as I live in Canada and anything even slightly unusual can be problem getting brass for unless I'm willing to pay extra importing fees. To add more fuel to the fire, Steve Rhoades shoots a .40-82 and apparently does quite well with it. He's using a 400gr Money bullet. That would cut down on recoil. Another possibility is the good old .45-90. Mine, when loaded with Swiss 1.5 or OE 1.5, is as fast as my .45-110 ( which uses Fg) when shooting the same paper patched bullet. With Fg it's nearly 100 fps slower which could be a good thing.

Mike I'm impressed by the guy being competative with a .45-110 for silhouette :-). I love my two .45-110's but like the .40-65 more for that game :-). I think the specs you posted would make for a great rifle.

The "problem" with these rifles is that there always seems to be an idea for another one floating around in the back of my mind :-)
