Shiloh Sharps 50-90 Sharps and 50-70 Govt. Barrel Specs?
So that is where all the Starline 50-90 brass is hiding out ...
Thanks to SR4759, 50-90 brass is incoming ...

Concho42Did anyone with a 1/26 twist ever try a sabot with a 45 bullet to see if it would stabilize better Instead of a 700 + grain bullet ?

Idaho SharpshooterMy Brother's Shiloh 50-90 has the 1:26" twist. It will shoot sub-moa with the 650gr RN Brooks mold and a lot of FFg.

PCRIP my Shiloh saddle rifle is a 50-70 it has 1-36" twist and .510" barrel.
I ordered and received a Shiloh sharps in 50-70. Told them I wanted to shoot 425-450 grain bullets. They recommended a 1/36 twist. I have shot a few hundred rounds through it and it preforms well.
Most practical is the 45-2.2 1/4; what we all wrongly call a 45-90, but that was a Winchester express cartridge firing 300 grain bullets only.
Or the 40-65 is nice with 400 grain bullets; both are MOA or thereabouts, rifles. The 50s are nice, but can be finicky. If you only want to shoot smokeless powder, get a 45-70, but I can't fathom that.
