Hello everyone! Great site here with lots of info. I came across a deal on a Marlin converted to 457 wwg mag and picked it up. In doing the normal research I see the potential to take 45-90 starline brass and trim it to 457 length. I have looked at the new SAAMI spec for 457 and what info I could get on the 45-90 they seem compatible in all but length. Has anyone had any experience doing this? The factory ammo is REALLY pricey for this rifle, a factor I was aware of when I purchased it. While I am an avid hunter I also tend to err on the side of caution with my shots and ammo use. 100 rounds of ammo will last me the rest of my life. So as things stand I can order $500.00 bucks worth of ammo from Cor-Bon or try and make brass from 45-90. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help.
