Trajectory and velocity questions

[hopalong]

I too suggest the 454 casull.

It can be loaded with BIG HEAVY bullets (300grns) or less and you can also shoot 45 long Colts in them (which can be loaded to 44 mag type loads, and WAY lower for fun)

A few previous posts shows the trajectory for a 454 vs. the 44 the drop of velocity and energy at 250 or so yards would be the difference for me (and I really don't LIKE Magnums).

I have a 9 inch Super redhawk in 454. Have shot it with BOTH 454 and 45 LC.

I REALLY like the 45LC loaded up to the higher end of its spectrum but not up to 44 mag specs (Oh and it'll shoot 3 inch groups at 100 yds with this load too).

I too agree with Charles Bond, get a T/C and a bunch of barrels of different calibers and have fun !!!!

OR, IF you are such a Browning fan as you say.................

Get a T/C and hunt with it (scratch it up ect.) and get a Browning anyway !!!!

I remember seeing an "indiana deer gun" thread on another forum and I believe that 458 socom was listed as an aproved caliber. That's what i would go with to keep it in the AR15 "evil" class
