Try the 470 or 475 Turnbull cartridges based on the 50-110 Win case. Same rim diameter and thickness if I am not mistaken. These two cartridges are plenty stout. The 470 Turnbull was designed for the Marlin 1895 and the 475 Turnbull was designed for the the Winchester 1886 and 71. You can check these out at www.turnbullrestoration.com. I believe factory loads are even available.

FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."
