big al1,
Discounting shotguns and possible custom made mod 21 double rifles, I think the answer is the .500 express available in the mod 1886; although the mod 1885 High Wall might have been available in one of the Sharps 50 calibers.

I think there are companies that will build a Model 71 in .45 calibers.

From Cartridges of the World, 4th Edition --



For the Winchester Model 1886, the largest cartridge was the .50 caliber. There were two variations of it, the .50 Express (aka .50-110-300) and the .50-100-450. While these were different loadings in the same case, the rifles were different with different rates of twist.

I believe Winchester made a few 20 gauge 1885. I'd have to check Campbell to be sure.

Skeetx, why a .45-70 in a 71 over an 86?
