Wish my 86/71 was chambered for the .50-110, instead of .45/70.
Make a nice "newer" mate to my 1876 in .50/95.

found this pretty funny. Talk about exaggeration and complete and utter bullshit.

"In his book, The Winchester Lever Legacy, Clyde Williamson discusses the awesome power of this cartridge. He quotes a Canadian hunting guide who shot a charging thousand-pound bear at a range of 15 yards with a 450-grain bullet. The guide stated that the animal was “thrown for two back flips, shot through and through the long way, and instant dead, without a head shot.” The same bullet was recovered eighty yards downhill after it had passed through a six-inch jackpine and lodged in a second tree.

I think Clyde was prone to a bit of exaggeration!
