A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

He's always had a 45/120 built on a Ruger No1,so it must be a 50/140 that's missing.

Man, that 50/90 makes the 45/70 look like a pipsqueak....
How do they compare ballistically?
Knocks you on your arse when you touch on off I'm betting.
Some serious lead there.

Bullet mould arrives next week; 650gn Creedmore with 95gn FG as a starting load. Mind the old 577/450 with 80gn FFG and a 520gn bullet is no pussy either, generating 62ft lbs of recoil in a 9 lb rifle. That's equivilant to 3x303's at once through a steel buttplate on to a bare shoulder

10 shots to the pound! Fark! you must be on real good terms with you local tyre balancing place....
I shoot a 45/70 from a 7lb Marlin GG and I reckon that thumps me pretty good....a dozen shots is all I need in a day.
