Out of a rifle it is said you can stoke these up a bit over factory handgun loads.
Here for example. Is the Rossi '92 design in line with a Winchester '94 or Ruger Bisley strength wise?
I would be more than happy getting 1400fps from a 250gr bullet, let alone over 1700fps!!
Thoughts?
Na, 16" carbine is what I have in mind.

Ouch. If I was to get a 45-70 it would be one of those Baikal SxS double rifles...
then cut it to 16"????
Fotay Fo' seems like a plan
What about a Thompson Contender in .375 H&H? :thumbsup:

That'd be fun from a T/C.
Sawn off SxS Baikal, hmm...
They're ugly as shit from the factory, but cut one down by about 200mm and I might be interested.
I don't think "lighter" is a positive attribute when it comes to a .45-70...
I had a Marlin Guide Gun on order but it never arrived and the QC process on current production Marlins is apparently "Does it look vaguely like a rifle? If yes, ship it out. If no, ship it out" so I canceled it.
How could you not like a Marlin 45-70.So long as it has the JM mark !
The one I have shot wasn't ugly. It looked quite nice.
You can down-load the 45-70 I guess but what's the point, may as well get a 45 Colt:)
You shot anything with it yet Tussock?
I wish!Quote:

You may want to consider one of these for your 16" Rossi

I like it:)
45 long colt is shit useless on wild pigs ,44/40 on the other hand kills them real dead. That's a Marlin lever action.
44-40 have been loaded to outstrip the 44mag in recent years, in stronger rifles, not hand guns.
Tussock the time will come when I will own a big bore again, however this is not my current aim. Although I might go 50-90 or something silly. Actually a forum Buffalo shootcould be fun. You know, where they shot out real far with old rounds like the 45-70 etc...
Because it was attached to the piece you hacksawed off??Quote:
