1863 chamber sizes?
Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2021 5:06 pm
Hey,
I have a 54 caliber carbine and rifle and the rifle has a .470" longer chamber. That aside. I am looking to get an 1863 Sporting rifle but in a .45 or smaller caliber for reduced recoil and better long range performance. I roll my own paper.
The Question(s):
1) what are the available chamber sizes for each caliber?
2) Would the shorter carbine chamber be better for the rifle?
Thank you,
Charles
