Trailrider #896 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Depending on whether the rifle is a repeater or single shot, you may be able to shoot .45-70 ammo in it. The relationship between the .45-70 and .45-90 is similar to that of the .44 Special with the .44 Magnum, just a difference in case length by about 0.3 inches. The only problem you might find with a .45-70 in a rifle chambered in .45-90 is whether a repeater will feed the shorter cartridge. My first M1886 Winchester was a .45-90 and there was no ammo or brass available, so I shot .45-70's in it. Used 405 gr. bullets seated a little further out. If you do this, you should clean the chamber periodically so you won't have problems with .45-90 rounds encountering a roughened chamber. But the same is true shooting .44 Specials in a .44 Magnum gun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
