Fudged a bit, .45 Hawken barrel is in a box, removed in favor of a .54 from Green Mountain. C&B is technically a .44 but the ball starts out @ .451.

Sharps and Marlin are both stamped "45-70" but 45-90 cartridges seem to make the Sharps happy.

What's wrong with the 454190? I think the SASS shooters like it but accuracy isn't critical with them. If I didn't hunt with my NMBH that is the boolit I'd be casting.
