John,

You're right of course. But, Winchester '86s were around and they used a BIGGER cartridge anyway. I'm not familiar with all of the rifles available in 1891, but a single shot would be unacceptable to me if I had to fight in an indian war. Funny, John Wayne always had a repeating rifle on the frontier.
