I just bought me a Winchester Model 1886. I will change it to 45-90 Wcf and I wonder if anyone can help with some information on loads for a 405 gn bullets. It is intended for Brown Bear and Moose.
45-70 to 45-90?? You will gain nothing, balistically, by doing so. If you use the original barrel you will damage the value of the rifle. At leas get a Green mountain barrel and start form scratch. Brass will cost a bunch more. You will have more headaches finding accurate loads.
