Can a Shiloh LRE be converted to 45-110 from 45-70?

All it takes is a chamber reamer in 2-7/8ths

Pretty easy straight forward.

Though you may want to secure a suitable amount of Brass before hand, I would suggest at a minimum 300 cases.

This is precisely the reason I haven't gone and done this to one of my rifles!
