40-50 BN Chamber options?
Posted: Thu Jul 29, 2021 6:54 am
Greetings,
I have on order a 40-50 BN and before it gets called up I am wondering what the chamber and twist options there are (or could be).
My first question is if the Shiloh standard is true to original dimensions or if there is one that is based on current 45-70 base/rim dimensions to simplify brass forming?
Secondly if there is a preference for Grease vs PP for chamber and bullet preference (I have not PP'd before but not adversed to it).
lastly if Shiloh has a selection of available twist rates and pros/cons with bullet weight ranges (GG vs PP).
Just wanted to get ahead of the game so I get what I want. BTW first rifle is planned to be a Hartford following typical period configuration for fun shooting. Second rifle is to be for Schuetzen shooting at 200 yards which would be configured for lighter range bullets.
Thank you,
Charles
