    ^^^^

    I have seen the movie but I did not remember what the things were called.

    I am not trolling. The "mostly" edit is because I shoot more paper then living creatures but plan on taking a Cape Buffalo in the next year or two and want the revolver for back up.

    I'm now certain you're trolling. Well played.

    Every one with a .357 bore that I ever owned would if you shot it enough. The .429 bore rifles never saw factory ammo.

    The graboid is a fictional species of sandworm that acts as the primary antagonist of the Tremors series of films.

    I do roll my own loads. The difference in the starting load and the max load published for .454 is minimal. I don't switch to .45 Colt because I want the penetration that the .454 provides. I owned a .454 in a magnum research BFR but sold it; I only have a Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 now. I plan to get a magnum research BFR in 45/70 as soon as I find one at a decent price.

    Slip of the finger; I meant exact same weight bullet.

    I have shot both; there is a VERY noticeable reduction in recoil with the 45/70.

    No; the recoil impulse from the .454 is dramatically harder then the same hand gun in 45/70 while the ballistics are nearly identical when using the exact same bullet. 35,000psi chamber pressure in the 45/70 vs 63,000psi chamber pressure in the .454.
