    In a rifle, surely. In a revolver, though? Here's a better question: if you already have the Casull, why not shoot .45 Colt out of it? Or if you reload it, why not load it down? A .45-70 revolver is a pain in the ass.

      Sure you provide ammo and rifle. Mine has been traded on for bigger and better things.

        I do roll my own loads. The difference in the starting load and the max load published for .454 is minimal. I don't switch to .45 Colt because I want the penetration that the .454 provides. I owned a .454 in a magnum research BFR but sold it; I only have a Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 now. I plan to get a magnum research BFR in 45/70 as soon as I find one at a decent price.

        I ditched my rifles because they really climbed in value and I did not like them. The test will have to wait until another time I guess.

            well that doenst seem like a fair comparison at all. How do we know it wasnt something wrong with the gun?

                It was guns not gun.

                  The graboid is a fictional species of sandworm that acts as the primary antagonist of the Tremors series of films.

                      Every one with a .357 bore that I ever owned would if you shot it enough. The .429 bore rifles never saw factory ammo.

                        I'm now certain you're trolling. Well played.

                          ^^^^

                          I have seen the movie but I did not remember what the things were called.

                          I am not trolling. The "mostly" edit is because I shoot more paper then living creatures but plan on taking a Cape Buffalo in the next year or two and want the revolver for back up.

                            You are going to likely have issues getting a handgun into Africa. Much less the ph is what the backup is.

                              I am not afraid either. I was just pointing out that a lot of factory .38spl and .357mag ammo was not loaded with a 18"-24" barrel in mind and it causes problems. Shoot enough of it and you will see what I am talking about. When I still owned a .44spl/.44mag lever rifle and a .38spl/.357mag lever rifle I was very careful about what I shot in it; but it seemed pointless after I compared a 30/30 load to even the hottest .44mag load.

                              Best performance out of a 16" barrel. How is that possible if there's so much resistance that it should completely stop the bullet?

                              Yes. Don't you read?

                                My clients daughter manages a 6 million acre game preserve in Tanzania and handles the paper work about getting firearms into the country on a weekly basis; she told me that it will not be a problem. I had planned on using a spear, the gun is a personal back up only.
