Friend had an old Winchester in 45-90He and his USMC bird colonel son went to range with a new box of 20. They argued who would shoot the most.

they returned with 16 unfired cartridges. A 45-90 is a “two shot rifle
First shot “Ow, holding it wrong”
Second shot “owie! Anyone else want to try this?”

Many 1886s had a curved brass plate designed to destroy the shoulder
