Just read your post to my husband. He states the .480 Ruger is even worse that the .454 Casull (similar to the contrast between a .38 special vs. a .357 magnum).

Anybody remember the Century Arms 45-70? I was damn near as heavy as a rifle, and the recoil was brutal.

It's still around under another name.


Magnum Research BFR is available in many calibers including 45/70.

I have to ask, why?
What purpose doe's this serve?

It makes big noises and big holes, that's all the putrpose it needs.

What purpose does a six pounder muzzle loading cannon serve?
It's just a blast.

FOFL ---- You use .454 Cassul ammo for 'lighter' loads.

Yeah, for when you're just sitting on the couch...better use 2 phone books though.

Damn. I guess I'll just have to dream about shooting it if it has that much of a recoil. At least I have my 12 Ga.

I was merely trying to illustrate the sheer size of the weapon...8^)

Yeah, that's the ticket!

That looks like a great gun. Unfortunately, you only get to shoot it once because you will be blinded by the muzzle flash from the 1.75" barrel.

I've shot a .454 Casull in Ruger, and it's the only gun ever to split my grip when I fired it.

I've got a Ruger 454; use a batting glove and it works perfectly.

It makes really big #$%^ing holes in things. That's sufficient explanation for me ...

* 2330 FPS/200 Grain! The Highest Velocity Revolver in the World
* 2400 ft/lbs! The Most Powerful .45 Caliber Revolver in the World
* If You Zero its Sights at 200 Yards, You Will Bag Your Buck with a Center Hold. 0-250 Yards with No Hold Over! Just Center It and Fire. The 460XVR will Do The Rest
* Gain Twist Rifled Barrel for Superb Accuracy
* Lighter Loads That The 460 Will Also Fire Include .45 Colt and .454 Casull

Have they worked up any 395gr or 405gr loads for this ? I wonder if it can break 1600fps with those two.
