I'm not trying to undermine your experience, but the "Quigley" model was an 1874 sporting rifle with a 34" barrel chambered in 45-120. The "buffalo" rifles, as they were referred to, were all 50 caliber. I did have the chance to shoot one years ago. A fellow at the range had one in 50-120. It shot a paper patched 500 gr cast bullet. It was a beast to say the least!
