When in doubt (or even when Not in doubt..), KEEP BOTH !!!

You'll sleep better..

(No need to thank me...)

Snap caps are worth their weight in Gold...

you can easily make your own, by adding a daub of hot glue to the primer recess of an empty, unprimed case..

SAAMI specs for the high pressure .454 Casull call for much tighter chambers than for the .45 Colt.. .454 brass will run about .476" diameter, and chambers should be no bigger than .480" to .481".. FWIW, Freedom Arms does not recommend firing .45 Colt ammo in a .454 cylinder, because ...

Is Walter Mitty still alive and well, in the ranks of home protection..?

At "in-the-room" range, a scattergun ISN'T.. 3", 12-Gauge 000Buck, deliver a "pattern" just over 3" diameter, at 10 yards, from my 20" coach gun, with straight cylinder barrels.. At 25 yards the pattern is about 6 1/2" across.. Even 10 yards is a pretty big ro...

Buck Elliott

Molten sulfur also works well for chamber casts..

Gauge pins can be used but won't give you a true picture of an out-of-round chamber.. Unfortunately, a lot of Rossi chambers prove to be either over-sized or egg-shaped to some meausurable degree, which can cause problems with the high pressure .454..

I NEED a Bearcat... Just because they're so handy..

(And Yes, it would magically become a WMR....)

Extraction of fired cases from manually operated firearms is not rocket science.. Some semi- or full-auto weapons operate under a slightly different set of rules, but they are not exactly the subject of this thread.. Rocket scientists have an annoying tendency to overthink things, and get bogged dow...

The forearm wood on my Uberti '73 Short Rifle is 8 1/4" long and appears perfectly proportioned..

Blessings and congratulations..!!

I can remember a time like that...

Heavy-loaded .500 S&W cases nearly fall out of a single-action revolver cylinder after firing.. Same as the .454 Casull or the heavy Linebaugh stuff.. Double-actions can be a mite more finnicky... Heaviest loads can pinch the extractor star in a double-action gun.. The bolt of a traditional leve...

Buck Elliott

Nope.. You ain't no engineer...

Tell me why you would need "camming force" to extract a relatively-short, straight case..?

Buck Elliott

I can't find any reference to indicate that either the 760 or the 7600 were ever chambered for any belted case...

Buck Elliott

Sure would like to see the inner workings of that pump gun...!!

As for the 760 Remington..? Barrel one up and give it a try.. !

Buck Elliott

Excellent choice !!

Gotta love the 9422.. Mine is a .22WMR.. Extremely accurate for a "field" gun.. Also a XTR version, but with uncheckered wood..

Congrats on your shooting !

The Perfect DIY week-end project !!!

Buck Elliott

Yeah.. i "thought about" one for a few seconds, then recovered my senses and went happily on my way without one.

I have handled Glocks, shot Glocks and made holsters for Glocks, disassembled and cleaned Glocks, and I will never own a Glock..

Buck Elliott

You could do it in a .44 Spl, but only at the price of higher pressures and more wear & tear on the gun.. if you have to get those ballistics from a .44, you're better off with a Magnum chamber from the get-go...

Buck Elliott

I've owned a few, all in .45 Colt, and my current example is a Short Rifle, with octagon barrel... i will say that there are sturdy, well-made and accurate guns, and a world of fun to shoot..

ENJOY !!

I started out with an old .44 WCF Colt, then "graduated" to the snorty .357 Magum, then vascilated between .44 Special and .45 Colt for a while (shooting and loading both), then eventually emerged as a full blown fan and admirer of the .45 Colt.. I have owned and shot many different .45s o...

Buck Elliott

For my use the .45 Colt wins.. First: it's what I have, and what I've used with great success for a good number of years.. With the exception of a couple rimfires, all my handguns are chambered for .45 Colt.. Second: with judicious handloads, I can throw 250-grain .45 slugs accurately down-range at ...

Buck Elliott

It is also offered in .44 WCF and .45 Colt.. don't panic !!!

Prayers are continuing in your behalf... May God continue His blessings upon you...

Buck Elliott

Sorta reminds me of a local guy, a few years back, who brought a Marlin 39 into the gunshop where I was 'smithing, and pretty-much demanded that we "convert" it to .223 Remington for coyote hunting.. After all, he reasoned, "it shoots the same size bullets..." such logic might se...

M32.. FWIW, I Did read your OP.. Several times, before I replied.. My reply came as adirect result of some 50 years experience as a "custom holster maker.." Your requirements arre sketchy, and somewhat contrdictory.. The fact that you choose to eschew belts renders the rest of your details...

Twist was 1:22.. Rifling resembled Pope (...Henry..??) style, with grooves having a much greater radius than the bore, with maximum dimensions being in the "corners" between lands and grooves.. those "corners" were about .456", wile the radiused "flats" were only a...

I guided Lones Wigger on a combo elk/deer hunt, many years ago, over in the Greys River country of far western Wyoming.. He and I got along just fine, and he was tough, but he was a fine gentleman..

Marlin32, you asked a question, to which you must have already had all the answers, because you don't seem to like or appreciate the "real world" answers you have been given.. I hadn't realized how much bigger, stronger, faster, smarter, and vastly more experienced you are, compared to the...

Winchester 9422M XTR.. Teamed with Colt's Peacemaker "Buntline", fitted with .22 WMR cylinder.

One reason you're not seeing many encouraging comments might be because a lot of us who Have "been there and done that" have seen, first-hand, the impractical side of your plan.. It might be OK for walking out to the deer "hunting" stand, but has little application in most real w...
