I contacted SS and they would rebarrel for $585.  R 13 what would you recommend for caliber for long range? I have a couple of 45-70's and a 45-90 highwall.

I shoot several CAS and Creedmoor (out to a 1000 yards) matches each year.  While in the right hands, there are several calibers that can perform at the longer ranges.  I have found that the 45-2.4 (45-90) to be optimum, especially with very heavy bullets. It has a good balance between power and recoil.  Just keep in mind that larger calibers can shoot shorter distances, while the smaller calibers don't do as well at the longer distances.

I like my 45/90 Have shot out to 1000 yds. and knocks over steel buffalos at 300 yds
probably a little better than 45/70s.  My 50/90 really has a rainbow trajectory so it's
mainly for historical purpose. my 2 cents worth
