Re: General purpose.45 Colt bullet
The Lee 452-255-RF, cast at 11 BHN and sized .0454, over 8.5 grain Universal load did 864 fps from a 4 1/2″ EAA Bounty Hunter and (shooting from improvised rests) immediately grouped 1 1/2″ to 2” at 25 yards, right on top of the front sight.

Re: Japan needs bear hunters
GRIZZ, look at the muzzle energy of the 44 mag, the lowly 30-30 has more enegy at 100 yards than the 44 mag does at the muzzle. the 454 casull is about three times more muzzle energy than the 44 mag. A carbine in 454 can be loaded to equal factory 45-70 loads, and no 44 mag can match that. When I w...
