Default RE: 45 or 50 cal
ORIGINAL: Underclocked

One thing I've noticed over the past many years is how the .45 gets "rediscovered" every few years. Huge rises in popularity followed by sharp declines - only to repeat again at some point in the future. Weird.
Exactly...and TC is on the fading side of the .45cal cycle...ie: they stopped making their .45cal barrels at both TC and TC's Fox Ridge subsidiary...I got the last couple .45cal 1:66" flint round ball barrels they had in stock a few years ago...and picked up a couple used .45cal 1:48" standard flint barrels on auctions since then.

I use .45/.50/.54/.56/.58/.62calibers, but always seem to keep coming back to the .45...took a couple deer this season with a .58cal GM flint barrel, but two others plus a squirrel this weekend were with .45's...
