I won an auction for 5.5" 45 colt Ruger Redhawk the other day. I intend to shoot primarily Ruger only loads in it, like 300-330 grain hard cast at 1200 fps or so. I got to thinking today it might be fun to have 45 colt lever action to share the same loads. That's about the power level I typically load my 45/70 too anyway, so possibly I could just consolidate.
I have never really researched them but I've heard a lot of 45 colt lever actions have obscenely large chambers or slows twist rates or oversize bores. What should I be looking for? My preference would be a marlin.
