I’m getting a Meacham Highwall chambered in 45-100.
Chamber was cut years ago for BACO .348 Winchester brass resized to 45-100. Has anyone had a chamber like this and tried to use Starline 45-100 brass?
Thx

Re: 45-100 brass
Give the person a call you're getting the rifle from and ask what the base diameter on the BA brass is. The Starline I use runs .498-.500" at the base above the rim.

Re: 45-100 brass
I have a 45-110 that came with a bunch of BACO reformed stretched 348 brass, and there's no problem in that rifle using either that brass or Jamison or Norma. So I would assume that BACO's brass swaging equipment made that 347 brass, to saami specs.
