Exactly my point.
Besides that, the wrong barrel twist 1 in 38 rather than 1 in 20 - you're stuck with express loads in 300 grains. Also, 45-90 brass is in very limited supply (even with Starline brass available on special order $27 per 20 cases according to one Cdn supplier, versus $12 per 20 for 45-70 from another Cdn source).
Nope, Browning/Winchester dropped the ball, not recognizing a good marketing opportunity, when they didn't make a decision to come out in a limited run with the .45-70 chambered version every 2-3 years.

Built in Miroku, Japan when they've come out in the past 20 years or so. Both Browning and Winchester have used Miroku to make limited runs of 1886s.
