Nope if I was going to lay out that sort of cash I'ld be talking with Pete at CSA on a new build... This is a project I don't know whether it's going to work or not, so keeping it on the cheap is bestest.

And, what did you get?

[Don McDowell]

Cody had a Browning 40-65 that hasn't been treating him well, so we'll send that outfit to Eron Ahmer and let him teach it a lesson about not being haive itself. LOL

And you can always send that 40-65 barrel to someone to rebore to your 44 cal for another spare barrel to waste some more lead on.

I'm thinking more like open it up to 4082 or 40-90 bn

[Semtav]

that would be the inexpensive way to go and mine is real accurate. but My next 40-82 is going to be faster than 16 twist more like what Rhoads shoots

don,
if you want a long range rifle the 40/90 will be second to none with a 13" twist and a bullet 1.550 long.
you will run 86 to 90 gns of 1f to the base of the neck, and have room in the neck for a grease wad under the bullet seated 1/8" in the neck.
for a bullet you could not go past a kal elliptical 0.005 under bore dia, and patched with seth cole 55w.
it will weigh about 450 gns, much lighter than a 550 gn 45 cal, reducing recoil, but keeping up to the 45 all the way.
rcbs makes dies to suit sizing to using a bullet patched to bore.
you might have to get the correct reamer.
for a dual purpose sil/long range rifle, the 40/82 along with the 40/72 are king of the heap.
about 80 gns of 1f with a 1/8 seated pp bullet, and down to 65 gns with a deep seated groove dia bullet.
both can be used in a groove dia chamber if you make the long range pp bullet dual diameter.
keep safe,
bruce.

40 cal is something along ways off in the shadows someplace. I've gave away or loaned out all but one of my 40 cal moulds, and the like. It's just something that might come up if at some point in time I decide this 45-90 deal isn't going to work out. Given that it'll be probably at the very earliest Oct or November before the 45-90 gets it's first round down the tube, there's mor than ample time to consider the mystic of the 40 cal...
