    They don’t have a price on them and when you scroll down thru the drop down tab the only thing 45 that comes up is 458 mag
    Long range rules, the rest drool.

    I found .45 basic on the sight in the components section.

    That being said, nobody in the US actually has any in stock .

    On another forum a Norma spokesman started Norma has stopped production of the lower volume items until they get caught up with the high demand items. That is normal within the most industries.

    That seems to be the likely cause. For now you do what you have to. There is no easy living under this admin. I had to buy 22 hornet brass from gunboker at twice the price just to feed my rifles, it is what it is.

    The admin has nothing to do with it, just people's stupid reactions.

    Well, I just called shiloh. It seems it'll be about 2 years before I get the rifle, so there'll be plenty of time to scrounge brass.

    It'll be worth the wait. All of my Shiloh's were .

    What did you order?

    Haven't yet. I'm still deciding what exactly I want.

    Well here are some pics to put some ideas into your head . A couple of my long range rifles.

    The first is my Shiloh in .45-90 with a 1:16 twist, 34" barrel followed by a 300 yard target shot prone. This is one of the better targets shot at that distance but not the best one. Long range Express, extra fancy wood, checkering, 34" 1:16 twist heavy barrel, .45-90 windgage sights.

    Next are my two most recent rifles. The top one is the one I'd use if I wanted to go for the mile, but it doesn't have the sighting equipment to get there. It's a Roughrider ( be wary if buying a used rifle, the old Rough Rider stock is nothing like the new one ). Semi fancy wood with checkering, 30" 1:16 twist, 16 lb bull barrel in .45-100. I basically copied Jimbo Terry's bull barrel rifle but made mine a bit lighter. I scored for him once at the Money Match in Colorado and it's a memory I won't forget. Jimbo's a heck of a shot and more talented than me, but I had that rifle on my mind for the entire trip from Colorado back to Montana. When I ordered it, Lucinda said that they weren't planning on doing a bull barrel run for a long time, but I told her it didn't matter how long it took

    If you are serious about shooting a mile, I'd seriously recommend sending a message to Kenny W. and getting his advice on sights.

    Chris.

    I'm leaning towards a .45-100, just because an American company offers brass for it.

    If you want to speed up the process a bit you can order your rifle from http://www.shiloh-ballard.com/ He charges a fee for the service but says he can get you your rifle (depending on what you order) in months rather than years.

    FWIW

    Yeah Bill Goodman's service is a very good option.

    Check the Shiloh Rifle Company every day. They have a gun inventory room, which occasionally some guns pop up in. One day I saw guns on their, waited a few days to think about it, checked again, empty. Few months later, checked, they had 3 or 4. I picked a 34 inch heavy octagon barrel 1874 Sporter and ordered it immediately. I had ordered a Quigley in 45-110 and had been waiting about 12 months, so figured I would get something to use right away and give me time to learn black powder reloading, etc.. Well worth it. Now it has been over 26 months apparently there are some engraving issues over. Oh and I have been looking for 45-110 the whole time, no luck.

    Their master engraver passed away last year. So they are a bit behind on that.

    As to 45-110 brass I talked to BACO today, they need 600 more pieces ordered before Norma will fill it.


    So?

    I have 100 on back order from about 10 months ago.

    Well, if I ordered 600 pieces, that'd last me a lifetime.

    That's not bad! Only 2 or maybe 3 shooters need to order a supply for their new rifles.
