45-100 or 45-110

I have heard that the caliber 45-110 would not shot good of some reason and I like to ask someone here who knows about that.

I have a pedersoli Sharps rifle in caliber 45-70 that I plan to rechamber to 45-100 or 45-110. Maybe the 45-100 itï¿½s the best choice due to the easy to get brass from Starline cheap.

Someone who can help me with this problem?

There is nothing especially wrong with the 110, though it often fouls a bit more, and may have more recoil than you wish to deal with. But, for my money, there is nothing as nice as a .45-90 or .45-100. Take your pick. Both have cheap brass available from Buffalo Arms, better and cheaper than Starline in my opinion. (See www.buffaloarms.com)

There is absolutely nothing that a .45-110 can do that a .45-90 or .45-100 cannot do just as well. But in the end, it's all in whatever turns you on.
