Re: 1886 .45-70 to .50-110

Mike Hunter restorations did my 50-100-450 conversion work. The carrier needs work (50-110 is longer so the carrier needs modified to accept it). The frame actually has to be modified to accept the longer cartridge going through the loading gate. WELL WORTH THE EFFORT IN MY OPINION.

Re: Chairmen of the Politically Incorrect

This was Rebored with a .375 reamer so I tried .376,377, and 378 but 377 was more consistent. I actually enjoy the Marlin the most as I use 10 grains of Unique in it and it is nice to shoot. Wind suggested that load to me.

Re: Chairmen of the Politically Incorrect

I tied the much touted Unique loads and blech. No bueno. So I tried the 3031. I still want to see about a load with 5744 but I need more bullets. Fred I have a Winchester rifle, this carbine, a 1893, and a Marlin in 375 Winchester.
