The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 45-90 Winchester was introduced in 1886 in the John Browning-designed 1886 Winchester. Utilizing the 1886's full action length, it is essentially an extended 45-70 cartridge, using the same .458-inch bullet but with a 2.394-inch case and 90 grains of blackpowder, substantially increasing velocity. Although never as popular as the 45-70, it was more powerful and considered far superior on larger game. Smokeless loads were available after 1895, including a high-velocity load with a 300-grain bullet at 1950 feet per second. The 45-90 remained in production until 1936. It is currently chambered in reproductions of vintage rifles and ammunition is available from specialty suppliers. —
