    I've got a bunch loaded if your guys want to try them out. It hits like a ton of friggin bricks !!!


     . . or virtually any other combination of bullet / speed you want to put together. I've run 110grain Barnes TLS/LE subsonic and the bullets look like something from an advertising photo shoot; nasty wicked looking.
    Sorry sir, let me clarify. I mean 45/70 subsonic wickedness.

    Would there be a worry with excessive head space with size of this case loading subsonic? How much would you really lose by dropping to 45 LC to get the same ballistics?

    Is it just a case that there is more of a selection of heavy bullets in the 458 dia?

    Potentially 600 grain soft lead bullets at 1040~.

    Kinda like getting hit by an elephant. With that much weight it don't have to be moving very fast to cause a whole shitload of hurt!
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    That could be done in a break action, but that I don't think that would cycle through through lever gun. Or have you already done this?
