Griz,
As you already know, I did email Boone and he came in and signed up. I'm glad to have him aboard. He's been a good friend for many years and knows the '76 Winchester inside and out. I like this forum.
Adios,
Buck
PS, I know they're not ready yet but I sure would like to have one of those decoder rings.

Thanks, Buck. I agree, Boone, is very knowledgable about the 1876, and I am sure glad to have him on board. I also know a fella named Buck who ain't no stranger to the model himself! ;)
Those dang decoder rings are all being bought up by a guy named Dick Tracy! We might just have to consider something else! :)

Chappy 45-75 26" rifle
So sign me up if that's ok
-
Picked mine up yesterday.
Chaparral .45-60 x 26". Looks good, functions fine. Lever safety gizzie is gonna wear me out if I don't lighten the spring.
I have 20 rounds of smokeless coming from a friend and dies were just ordered so I can get BP loads.
Pictures and report later.
-
Howdy Folks!
I ordered mine from Cimarron Firearms via Sports World on Wednesday. They said I should get it next week. I ordered it in .45-60 thinking that I could easily cut down .45-70 brass if I had to. Then I started looking around the internet to order loaded ammunition. Great Scott! that ammo is expensive. I'm thinking I should have ordered .45-75 or .45-90 because I have found it cheaper and components seem to be more readily available. I have not been able to find any reloading data for smokeless powder. Anyway I'm looking forward to getting the rifle, working up some loads and hunting with it next deer season in the Osage.
-
Hello in the camp. Hey Grizzly Adams, pencil me in. Muchos gracias amigo. I have an original Centenial ser. no 2XX cal 45-75, and am looking forward to hunting more with it in 2008.
-
Howdy, Boys!
The Yukon Rose and I just rolled back into town from our holiday trip out to aggravate the relations! ;D Great trip and got to see the new Grandson to boot! Handsome little tusker - must take after his grandpa! Har! :D
I want to extend a welcome to the fire to nitroexpress, Cross-Stixs, Llano County and my pard, Harve Curry. Good to have you boys with us! :)

Hey Griz! It would be an honor if you would throw me on that list! I have been missing something for 30 yrs shooting my 1881 made 73 and have been tempted too many times to get a 86 but always in the back of my mind I didn't click with it's lines. I have aquired many levers over the years but have always felt something was missing...crazy,huh? Thanks for the imput on my other post asking which caliber to hook up with this model. Still throwing up practical vs aplicable vs dream'n.

Welcome to the fire, WhiteWolfDakota! :) You will find lots of folks here who are fascinated with the 1876. After all, it is the most elegant expression of the Victorian gunmaker's art. ;)

Grizzly Adams,
Would you be so kind as to add my name to the Winchester 1876 Membership Roster. [ Justin O Lawman ]
I picked up the Chaparral 76 Carbine I ordered from CDNN last night. It is one of the mis-spelled Daly Guns.
The gun seems to be a keeper.
Thanks

Add me to the roster. Got my 1876 from Taylor Arms a few weeks ago. Beautiful looking rifle.
Got it in 45-60 with a 28 inch barrel. Haven't got to shoot it yet. looking for ammo and Components.
03/04/08: finally got the shoot the 45-60, boy is it nice. Still need to shoot it a lot more to smooth up the action.
this a great handling and shooting rifle. Will hopefully get to shoot it off a rest and get a few pictures up here of it and groups.

Please sign me up. I'm having a grand time reading all of these '76 Posts.

I gotta tell something here. When I was a lad in early high school (yup - mid-60's...no...not 1860's) My grandad had an original '76 hanging in the sportsmans bar he had, and I thought that was the coolest thing ever. It was a 45/75, and everyone pretty much talked about how sad it was no ammo was available - it might be fun to shoot. It weighed a ton! ( as I remember it back then) I have no idea where it is now, 40 years later.
Now, I have a couple of these Uberti's, and to be honest, even without shooting them (which isn't happening), I'd still never part with 'em. Beautiful guns and a part of history every little kid would love to have at some point in life! I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do!
-
Please add me to your list. I Am the proud owner of a Uberti 76 in 45-60.

I picked up a Uberti 45-60 on 22 MAR 08 just because I picked it up and fell in love with it. I've never been to a cowboy shoot or even know if there's a place for an 1876 to compete, but I'll worry about that later. I spent the weekend cutting down 45-70 brass and my dies come in today. Can I still join and dip into the "info barrel" here? After looking over what data I can find, it appears the first thing I'll have to do is find a readily available cast bullet that will meet COAL requirements. If anyone has any recommendations, I'm all ears. I think I'd eventually like to try some black powder shooting but to be honest, I like shooting a lot better than I like cleaning.

Grizzly Adams Hi.

You can put me on the roster
I am an avid fan of the 1876, having hunted, successfully, I might add with originals...

Even prairie dogs...
(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/prairiedogmodifiedfore-mail.jpg)
But I seem to be remembered most for this 1876 that got me nicknamed "Shrapnel"...
(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/76.jpg)
This was a real nice single set triggered gun that blew up with a double charge of Accurate 5744. The reason it was double charged was due to loading on a progressive press and having a primer hang up. When I got the primer feed going, I had run the handle up twice giving a double charge that was disasterous.
One should note that the 1876 has a reputation for a weak action. If you look at this gun, you can see that is not true. The action held and the barrel blew in two and completely off the rifle. Fortunately no one was hurt, but it ruined a scarce piece of history and my day as well. I have a copy of a test done in the late 1800's on how much powder and how much abuse they went through to blow up a '76, and the action held up to extremely high pressure and overloaded cartridges. This particular gun didn't hold up, but the action did.
-
Howdy, Sharpnel. :)
Sorry to see that pic of the blown 76. :( I hope you where not injured! ??? I agree, the weak point with the original 1876, and those 1886s produced without nickel steel barrels, is the breach, not the action.
Glad to see that your 76s are still working for a living! That is as it should be! ;)

Hallooo the fire!
Griz, please sign me up for the forum.
We chatted about a year ago when I was having accuracy problems with my new toy due to my screwing up a batch of what was supposed to be 20/1 lead that tested out at 35-1. Apparently, bullet slump was the problem due to a sloppy chamber throat. 20/1 did improve the groups.
I've moulded me up some 16/1 for the Chap 1876 in 45-75 in 350 grain in the Lyman and the RCBS moulds but haven't had time to play with them yet.

Good looking rifle there Chuck. Thanks for posting the pic, and give us a range report when you get her fired up and running! ;D
-
You can sign me up if it's not too much trouble. I picked up an original '76 about a year or so ago. It's been altered a fair bit, and I intend to get it in at least somewhat more original configuration when I can. Haven't loaded any rounds yet or fired it, but finally have all the equipment necessary to make the brass and bullets and load them together. It's a 45-60 BTW.
The bore's in good shape as is the internals. I've had it apart and cleaned it out and relubed it (built a '73 almost from scratch, making most of the parts myself), so it's ready for the range.
-
Hi
As the recent proud father of a new Uberti in 50/95 would you add me to the role of honour? :)
Cheers
Clive

Just got my new Chaparral in .45-75 and looking forward to taking it out soon. In the meantime I have to be content to sit and polish and rub and clean and dream... I would like very much to be considered for a place in this august company.

Finaly managed to pick mine up from my dealer. Got it used from Oklahoma Dee, a NWMP, very light and handy compared to the big long barreled ones. Only put 15 rounds through it to test it out at 25 yards, functioned perfectly. Now to load some ammo and try some longer ranges! Should make one heck of a good deer rifle!

Howdy Grizzly
I would like to be included in the Winchester 1876 Membership Roster.
As a matter of qualifications I am the proud caretaker of an original 1876 produced in 1882 in cal 45-60. 28" Octagonal barrel with the original ladder sight and silver blade on the front. I have them carefully tucked away in the gunsafe and am using a Marble's tang sight with extended adjusting shaft and a globe front sight with a fine cross hair insert. It wears a well earned, I'm sure, brown patina finish as does the sight blank in the rear dovetail. Loading these days is with a full case of Goex Pinacle 2f and a 300gr bullet with SPG lube. Rifle was purchased from my optometrist, at the time, who said that her great, great...grandfathers brother shot Buffalo from a train with it. I will take her word for it. We settled on a price of $800 and the rest is history.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Honest Henry
;D is this what all 76 owners/shooter look like?

I would like to join up with your outfit, playing with a new Uberti in 45-60.
Thanks-- Mad Dog Jack

Don't know how I missed out on signing up. I bought a Charles DAILY for a great price from CDNN (Remember the spelling error?) back many months ago.
Very good rifle with a minor problem: the lever safety spring seems to have come from the rear suspension of a 1946 Dodge Power Wagon.
Two minor "cosmetic" issues, but she shoots like a dream...when I can squeeze hard enough to get that dang safety to release. (Guess I'll take the time to remedy that issue.) The dand
g thing is so heavy the recoil isn't even bad over twenty or thirty shots. Them it becomes an annoyance.
Like all of my rifles, I will change the sights out at some point.

Well, I too love the originals, and used to shoot them some, but since the Uberti come out, I just take the old girls out once in a while to fondle! :) Say, that don't sound quite right! :D
In any case, nice example, and a good investment to boot! Enjoy! :)
By the way, I may move these last few posts and pics to the thread with pics of original rifles - just so it don't get overlooked.

Garret here. I humbly request to be added to the membership roster. I have been reading on this forum as I've wanted to get one of these beauties for some time now. I have on order a Cimarron, NWMP Carbine in .45-75 and it will probably be close to a month before I can take possession. There's a little time before I will actually be a proud owner however I wanted to start the ball rolling and put my name in for membership.
Thanks for the opportunity!

Thanks Grizzly. The '76 and I are getting to know each other quite well. She's a lovely Lady ;D But like all women she grabs your attention when she lets fly.....
Due to a bit of damage on the fore end received at Bisley I decided to strip off that horrible poly gunk that Uberti insist on putting on their wood. After steaming out the dents and some weeks of lovingly applying oil, finishing it off with Renaissance wax. She looks a $million now. The grain is superb. Liked it so much I've just done my '73 too.

Griz:
A good point. Why don't Uberti wise up and go to a handrubbed oil finish. Years ago I had a Sharps that had been made back East before they moved to Big Timber and it had a hand rubbed oil finish. Scratch it and put a drop of Tung oil on that scratch--problem solved! I think that Uberti might could sell more? ;)

Recently got a new Chaparral 1876 NWMP model. It's my first "old" lever action. Got some Jamison brass and loaded up some 300 grain lead over 25.0 AA5744. Didn't shoot for accuracy as the wind was howling but it was a blast. Surprising amount of smoke. Working on converting some Win 348 brass with tools on hand and that's fun....not!! :'( Now have M92 on order and am looking for a single action revolver. As contagious as any other form of gun fun. ;D

Well, pardners, I just joined the club. Monday after next, I get to take home a Chaparral 1876 rifle with the 28" barrel in .45-75. At 10.3 pounds, unloaded, and over 11, loaded, it will be give me a good workout deer hunting.
All ready to start casting and loading up. Just got a RCBS 45-325-FN-U mold, some Jamison brass, and some cans of the black.

Thanks Grizzely Yes got to see most of it. As it is in Italy they don't work fast, hard or steady. I did get to pick my serial # and the rifle. looked at a lot of rifles before I picked this one.

Add me to the list. Cimarron F. A. 28' barrel standard rifle in .45-75 WCF. It came in last Thursday the 17th. Fit and finish are very good. Wood is very very good. I hope to have it out to the range soon. This forum has been very helpfull in answering questions about the '76 and the .45-75 chambering. This is my first gun purchas since I can't remember when.

Are there anybody out there who is doing anything? I am used to reading about the exploits of all on this site. I will admot that i have been somewhat negligent in reporting my endeavors but do not think that this is with all of us.
-
I know what you mean. I look forward to reading about what's going on, but no one seems to be doing much of anything or they're too busy. I'm in the same boat, because nothing much is going on with me either. I've been selling off some of my duplicate caliber Winchester molds and tools in various '76 calibers, but that's about it.
-
Buck:
Thisnice weather that we are now having after damn near 5 inches of rain here in the FLathead probably is giving some folks the incentive to do more than just look out the window and there is field work now and haying and whatnot so at least here I got an idea that shooting is on the back burner for awhile. 8)

Howdy,
Perhaps you could add me to your list. When I left California to move to Oregon, my good buddy and 1876 collector, Pill Pedler gave me a 85% original 1876 Rifle in .40-60 Winchester as a goin' away present.
I haven't shot it yet as I don't have any ammunition but as soon as I do, I'll take it out and give it a run.

Just took delivery of a Uberti 1876 in 45-60 caliber. Gun is beautiful. As an owner of other Uberti rifles, I took it apart to see what the innards looked like. I was pleased to find that it was exceptionally clean and free of and major machining marks/burrs/etc. Really well finished overall and a nice piece of walnut on the buttstock, with some tiger stripe. After dissasembly, I cleaned and lubed/greased everything and put it back together. Action is pretty smooth, but the trigger pull is kinda heavy. Gotta assemble some ammo and shoot her smooth.

pencil me in as well, just got my '76 from CDNN, short rifle, 45-60. I'm glad I took the risk after reading all the negatives about Chappys, mines great, and yes I've had a 66, and a 73 Uberti, this baby is just as good and a heck of a lot cheaper! consider me a happy cowboy ;D............ Got a Smith ladder enroute from Brownells....

Sign me up! I have a .45-75 (unmarked) caliber early 2nd model 1876 with thumbprint dust cover and a late third model in .45-75, both of which I shoot here in MT. Great stuff you're posting -- thank you!
-
Put me on the list, I have a Uberti 45-60. I like the gun but Uberti have put the wrong twist barrel on it and it will only shoot 405grn. Have tried all the loads here but none work with 290 or 300 grn lead bullets.
Same It is the carbine mod. Sight had to go as well as they were not calibrated to the barrel either.
Hope to get a better one one day.
I enjoy seeing the Old girls and even better when they are still shooting.

The first was a beautiful Uberti 40-60 that I flat gave up on! It shot patterns, not groups. Traded a buddy for a Chapparel that's a little rough around the edges, but damn does it shoot! Looks like a lot of knowledge on here. Maybe as a semi-old guy (59.5), and long time reloader/shooter I'll have some wisdom to pass along too!

Guess it's time to stop lurking. I have an Uberti 1876 Centennial that I am just starting to shoot. Have been working on different loads. Have shot it only once so far and enjoyed it, but need to lighten the springs a little and do the other things appropriate to the 76. It was particularly tough to lever and has about an 11 pound trigger pull. Have been working on the main spring, slowly but surely. Just about there and will move on to the other three springs. Have been smoothing the innards too. It is beginning to feel like a well-oiled, if stiff, machine.

Please add my name to this distinguished list. Yesterday, I took delivery of my Taylor's and Co. 1876 Winchester Centennial rifle in 45-60.
I've been building guns for my whole life, 14 yr. to 65 yr. anyway, and I know a good one when it appears. This is one of the finest! I'm just delighted!! Now to load some cartooshes, and see how she shoots. being Canadian, I bought the rifle from Ellwood Epps in Barrie Ontario and landed at my door I paid $1638.10. It's probably tacky to speak of money, but I just wanted to show how reasonable this rifle can be acquired here in the North.
When I was a young fellow, I collected an original that needed some work to the linkages, but was able to find original parts, and so made it work. In a weak moment, I sold it, regretably, so it feels great to have a brand new one. This one won't slip away!

Welcome Gabriel Law, and congratulations on your new 1876. You are gonna love it! :)

Thank you GA!
My brother, who knows infinitely more about reloading than I ever will, helped me load some cartridges. I cast a bunch of bullets from a brand new Lyman 457122 HP mold...came out at 345 grains in my alloy which I figure is around 25:1. I lubed/sized them with SPG to .457" and loaded them over 44.5 gr. of IMR 3031. My Chrono gave me an average of 1800 fps with a spread of 28 fps., so I'm pretty happy. No signs of excess pressure. But when I cleaned it, I had to remove leading...my alloy is too soft for than velocity.
Now I have a bunch of cartridges loaded with that same lube/sized bullet and 60 grains of GOEX 2Fg Cartridge black powder.
Regarding the rifle, I confess that my eyes can't see the sights well enough to shoot for a group, so I've ordered a Marbles Improved tang sight with accessories from BACo.
The rifle performed flawlessly, and is remarkably smooth for a new rifle. I've downloaded the instructions of slicking the '76, and will make some modifications to make it even better.
Great rifle!!
-
Hey Gabe - you ain't done tol' me if'n ya want them .458 HP bullets.
When the bird chuckers gets picked up, I'll put 'em in the box.
-
PJ, I'll give Eddie Blackwater the cash for the lead. Thanks for those.
-
Please add me to the list. Got an original Winchester 1876 in 45-60. I'm planning to start loading some blackpowder cartridges as soon as Jamison starts making their brass cases again. I've had this 1876 octogonal barreled rifle for about 36 years and have never fired it. What would the best grade of black powder to use behind a 330 gr Gould hollow point cast bullet? What primer, standard or magnum?
-
Howdy Southfork33,there is a lot of information on the 1876 Winchester here.I am sure you will enjoy shooting your vintage Winchester. In my original 1876 Winchester's I have tried Goex and Pyrodex and Swiss bp. I have had the best groups from Swiss 2ff ,but the other two powder's did very good also.For primer's I have used the Mag. primer's . But now use standard Winchester LG rifle primer's. Hope you get the old Winchester out for a shooting session.It will be a Blast I am sure of it . PS. We all would like to see a pic. of that old girl,,,,,,Dusty

Proud to add you to the posse, southfork33! And, I would have to agree with Dusty on the Swiss off. :)
-
Thanks, guys, for the info on the powder and primers that you use. I just checked the serial number on the 1876 Winchester and it is 3980X. Guess that's a fairly old one, but hopefully after Winchester had started using steel receivers.

Just acquired a Uberti '76 in 45-75. Would appreciate being added to the roster.

I'm finally IN ! Been looking for a '76 a long time. Ended up with a Cimarron short rifle, 20" in 45/75. Brass is on the way. Huge grin on my face!
Really like the beef of these guns. Big fan of the '86 but have to say I am getting a might partial to the '76 carbines and short rifles the more I play with this one. Makes me want to buy another and chop it at 22".
This one came from Alaska a little beat up from handling and the gun safe I suspect, but seemingly unfired best as I can tell after having it apart.
Here ya go King :)

I bought my 22" Uberti 45-60 from Texas Jack last month.
I am having fun shooting it. May use it for deer hunting once the rifle caliber is approved.
I now have a 1860, 1866, 1873 and the new 1876.
Here is a picture of my 1876.

Just ordered mine to go with my 73's! Being a 44-40 fan, I was not sure what caliber to get, so I chose 45-60 so I might be able to hunt deer in Ohio if they add it to the approved straight wall list someday. Can't wait to get it!

I was feeling guilty about buying this gun, but after seeing so many proud members here, I feel vindicated. Sign me up! I just came home from the Allentown Gun Show with a Uberti '76, in .50-95 with 28" bbl.
I'm usually more of an antique military gun guy, and so is the dealer who was set up behind me at the show. But he happened to have this '76 sitting on one of his tables, that he had taken in trade. I didn't pay much attention to it, until a lull in the show when I picked it up to stem the boredom. Once I saw that big, .50 cal. muzzle, and hefted it to my shoulder to peer down that long, 28" barrel sight plane, I knew I wasn't going home without it. I even got right on my phone and bought dies and brass then and there. Can't wait to shoot it!

Congrats - you have yourself a fine rifle! May I suggest that you read the "loading data for the 50/95 WCF" thread to get off to a good start. Slug the bore before ordering bullets or a mold. That will save you a lot of aggravation.
-
Thank you. I did indeed read that thread. I was actually rather disappointed that guys were reporting results with 3" to 4" groups at 50 yards and expressing their satisfaction. I would not consider that acceptable accuracy from any brand-new rifle. Surely there are better loads to be found. It also seems like guys are coddling this gun, and perhaps thinking about it too closely to an original.
There's an article by Ken Kempa in Guns & Ammo Jan. 2010 in which he tests various smokeless handloads, mostly using Barnes jacketed soft points ranging from 300 to 450 grains, at velocities ranging from about 1,360 to 2,120 fps., and getting 50-yard groups ranging from 2.25" to 0.75". According to his calculations, none of these loads exceeds the recommended pressures for this gun or cartridge. Of course, he's evaluating this rifle for its potential as a serious hunting rifle (with high marks to it for that), rather than for CAS shooting. But if it can easily handle driving a 450-grain jacketed bullet at almost 1,600 fps, I don't see why some guys are getting so cautious about putting a few extra grains of Trail Boss or of 3F Swiss behind a 350-grain soft lead bullet.

Howdy from France,
Please add me to the list of winchester 1876 Membership Roster.
I've finally found this famous rifle in 45-60 S/N : 18929 (1881 ?)second model (Photo follow next time)
I was waiting fot years,here in France (Alsace)they are not very commun.
Excuse my poor English.

Howdy Charri67, you are a lucky one to have found an original Winchester 1876 in France. Sounds like a great old rifle . Hope to see a picture of it one day. Howdy back at you from Texas! ,,,,,,DT
-
Thank you very much Mr Dusty Texian. The great problem is that I don't know how add photos.I must learning that soon.
So I have found a wonderfull Winchester 1866, n° 166XXX from 1889 in .44 rim fire.This rifle is for me (new)the bore is fantastic.
The price was reasonable(?)5k.What i don't understand is why Winchester still made .44 henry rim fire in 1889 and not 44-40 CF.
This is maybe the reason that this rifle is pratically new.
You see that I'm a Winchester fan.about 1995, I was in Canada(for fishing)and I have found a wonderfull Winchester 73 in 44-40
with half octogonal barrel from 1884.I have also a Win 94 in 30-30 from 1913,french military modell , and 2 commemo (1 Wells Fargo, and 1120 years anniversary from 1986.And many hunting rifles.I'm now an old retired hunter.
Have a good day and mery Christmass for you and all American people that I love.

I guess this is a good way to introduce myself! Hello from a new 1876 owner. Weapon appears to be a 45-60 cal with a fully octagonal barrel. Barrel length is a little confusing to me. I saw where the Express model had the octagonal barrel but was 26" long. Hopefully I can post a couple of pictures here and you all can help un-confuse me.
Looking forward to learning about this gun. Hope I'm in the right place.

Hello,
You can add me in, I have two of them in 45-60, the full length rifle and the Crossfire Musket.
Love them both, but I need to find a boy to rest on his shoulder that 28" barrel when I shoot off hand, as my old back can't hold er steady
anymore.
Love to see that smoke!

Gotcha! Welcome!

Charrie67,
Better late than never. The model 1866 was discontinued in 1898. All rifles, carbines and muskets were .44 Henry Rim Fire caliber, throughout production. The only exception was a lot of just over a thousand carbines shipped in the early 1890's as .44 Henry Center Fire caliber. This IS NOT the same as .44-40.

Hello,
New guy here, not new to guns or cowboy guns but to this forum. I just bought a Uberti 1876 45-60 "Tom Horn" rifle.. the 1876 s a long time dream rifle of mine, so nice to finally have one. Sadly, I have the 45-60 model... What I really want is the Same gun in the 45-75 but hopefully one day someone will trade with me :o)
Nice forum you have here, been reading a lot. I also have a awesome 45-75 die set from Buffalo arms but can't load till I get the 45-75 version! Nice to meet everyone. I'm in Oregon
-
Here is a photo. Hope this works
-
Beautiful rifle. In case you were not aware, the Tom Horn model only comes in 45/60. So if your looking for one in 45/75, your gonna have to get one in regular version. Which I think look better anyway!
-
Hello!,
Thanks for your reply... I agree! The "regular color case" ones are sexy! I mostly want the regular one because I'm obsessed with 45-75 but gladly took what I can get in this awesome 45-60... so hopefully one day I can find someone who wants to trade me for a 45-75 for ease of reloading or whatever.
If I get "stuck" with this one I will likely send it to the best gun smith ever I know and have it color cased.. Been reading of 45-75 and Teddy Roosevelt since a child, feel like to have this baby for sure. I love my Marlins, but wow this specific Uberti is smooth as glass... my first Uberti.. wondering if they are all this nice. I haven't gotten to shoot it yet, quite anxious..
I even found a original new old stock 1970s vintage gun case for this, orange and off white brown vinyl with orange lining, hard plastic handles totally nostalgic thats fits perfectly..
Do you have one of these 1876 rifles?
-
Do I have a Tom Horn? No, I do not. I do have these 3 tho.

You have 3!? Wonderful... absolutely beautiful examples... Please tell me, which round is your favorite and why? Or better yet... what is your favorite round for what... ie close work 50-90, 45-75 for distance? I'm super curious... I've never spoken to anyone who has experience with all 3 before!
I've always wanted the 45-75 but, for reloading purposes 45-60 is super convenient, love color case but I plan to hunt a lot and it will fade. Wish I could afford 2 or 3, but still tickled I managed to get one..
Thanks in advance!
