Title: Big stuff!
Post by: R9SCarry on January 30, 2005, 08:26:33 PM

I am blaming PCA for this - as he'd asked me about stuff like S&W 500, Ruger 480 etc.  well, I doubt I'll get those (yet!!  ::) ) ... as I have a reasonable cannon selection.

So for fun - I'll post portraits of the cannons ... cos I need little excuse!  One or two have been seen before I am sure.


The Magnum Research BFR.  Chambered 45-70, which I load with a 405 grain hard cast bullet from Lasercast ... over 41.5 grains Reloader 7.  Yields approx 1550 ft lbs.  Sight is a Bushnell Holosight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Taurus Raging Bull in .454 Casull.  Nice shooter tho not as tough I feel as Ruger.  Still using Hornady hot 300 grain XTP loads but reloading about to start.  Bushnell EER scope.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Long barrel SRH, in .454 Casull. Millet red dot.  Still original grips. The Hornady load yields about 1850 ft lbs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Long barrel SRH but in .44 mag .. again Millet red dot. Hogue grips.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Ruger Super Blackhawk ... .44 mag.  B-Square mount and budget red dot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Finally, a T/C Contender - this with .223 barrel but I have a .44 mag barrel as another option.  Redfield EER scope.  Absolute darned tack driver at 100 yds - you'd think it was a rifle grouping almost.

R9S:

Holy censored! I had no idea that my private message inquiry, as to whether you liked big bore revolvers,would yield this big bore arsenal!
45-70 in a hand gun????? And here I thought that was a bit much in the 16" Marlin I own.
I've shot the .454 Casull and pain, after all, is fun.
There is such a profusion of big bore revolver calibers going on that it's hard to keep up with them all. .500 S&W, .480 Ruger, .460 S&W Magnum.
Your collection is great and many thanks for the photographs. I am not worthy.
BTW: When will Rohrbaugh be introducing the R45-70?
