40/90bn

[ken s]

Are there any 40/90bn shooters over there. I tried to ask that ? Over on the Shiloh forum with a negative effect. I wanted to know about shooting that round. I have been shooting the 50/90 and 45/90 for over 30 years. But I've always wanted to have a rifle built and start shooting that round. I'm retired now and I need another project. So I would love to hear from anyone that shoots that round. Thanks

I had an original 74 sporting rifle in 40 90 sbn. I'm having the chamber bushed in 40 70 SS. I had a lot of trouble with sticking shells.
My advice is go for one of the straight cases. In 1878, Sharps dropped the SBN cases and went to straight cases for just that reason. The went to the 40 90 SS and the 40 70 SS instead...they knew what the rifle used well...
Don't go looking for trouble.
