40/90bn

[MikeR]

I don't think that you will ever find an owner of a .40-90 SBN that will say " I wish I had a couple more .40-90 SBN's, they are easy to load for". If you are thinking a .40, try a .40-70 SS. I just got one with an PP chamber and it easily holds 80 grains of powder with room for a lube wad if you wanted. I have not run it over a chronograph yet, but it's really fast. If you are looking for a BN cartridge, consider a .44-77 SBN. I have less than a hundred rounds through mine but it's obviously much much more shooter friendly than the .40-90. I'm thinking that I will be able to shoot it dirty for hunting. No blow tubing or wiping.
