I had a 50/140 Shiloh LR Express....that was brutal, left a bruise on the shoulder even with a slip on Pachmeyer recoil pad...that bullet sounded like a howizer whizzing out there.

So a 50/90 is going to be mild by comparison. and with the heavier barrel...it ought to dampen the recoil...

We shall see..that is probably why the guy decided to sell it...to much yank..

I kept the RCBS 50/585 mold for it along with a bunch of Bell 50 Basic Brass and bullet sizing die..always with the thought of getting a 50/90 one day...so I saw the oportunity and decided the price was right so why not give it a try.

The caliber of choich for the LR Creedmore matches back in the day was 44/100 and then the 45/100....so 50/90 is going to be in that league.
