Re: Expansion test
300 blackout seems to be plenty useful. I have watched some videos on youtube where it was compared to other calibers. I have some larger and some more powerful things. Lots of power and noise is not always necessary.

If it can eject a live round, then it seems that you have the C.O.A.L. right. I understand that is a dummy, but there shouldn't be any length differences. Obviously you know this.

Looked up a bit of data. Ruger only loads in .45 Colt usually go no more than 30,000 CUP. Approximately 30,000 psi. DO NOT QUOTE ME, look it up yourself and follow published data.

Re: Rossi .45 Colt 92 rifle... and hot loads
.480 Ruger was made by Rossi. They run to a maximum of 48,000 psi. Honestly, that pressure is not necessary for most critters, but it is nice to know that you can get there if something big and dangerous needs to be whacked. That psi would be pretty hot in a .45 Colt caliber, but it certainly means ...

Not leverguns. Plus, the long gun is inexpensive. It is accurate and it works reliably. The handgun is old styled enough to fit in with leverguns.

Re: New Wildcat Project for my 1886 450 2.44"
I just looked at my notes. 9x 57 rimmed is what I was looking at. Less power and less pressure. A 20 gauge shotgun action is not really strong enough for much more. I have something in a combo for when I want to launch 400 grains at 1300 fps.

I haven't looked it up well yet. There is a 9.something rimmed cartridge that is straight wall and operates at a reasonable pressure for what I want to do. I think it sounds fun. I plan on starting this Fall.
