[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1061547, member: 2736"] Old black powder cartridges need barrel length. I would recommend at least 26" . Also In order to get the most out of the 45/90 in a short barrel you should use at least a 350 grain bullet and preferably a 450 to 500 grain to get the energy from low velocity in the short barrel. (The heaver bullet will do a better job of burning all of the powder, and because it will stay in the barrel longer it will gain more energy). For the cartridge BP rifles I normally recommend the jacketed bullets because of the velocity they can reach with 30+'' barrels. but you may want to look into some cast bullets around 500 grains. I use a 626 grain Postnell in my 45/120 with great accuracy at ranges beyond 500 yards. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
