I just took my 454 lever action to the range. Shot 150 rounds. shot as good as I can shoot first shoot hit the x at 50 yard. 240 grain Hor, HPT. NOTHING BROKE, RATTLED OR LOOSENED. Called Leagacy Sports and taled with gunsmith, he said I could shoot 45 colt, but they don.t recomend it. Legal tec. stuff. advised me not to use lead though. The kick was not bad even with 335 cor- bon penetrater loads. not as bad as with my ruger pistol. the 240 horn. loads were not even close to my 35 Rem. shot in a 336 marlin. The Puma works fine may change the recoile pad and the sights. I don't know what the fuss is all about. Heard Winchester is making a lever in 480 instead of 454. I think there some polictical stuff going on. I'm glad I got it. Paid $500 out the door. Heard some places selling them for $60-$70 cheaper around the S.F. Bay Area in Califorina.

I guess they are concerned about the lead build up in the barrel, hence developing more pressure. What do you think?

This is off the subject, but what the heck.
I have a nephew named Robert who was also in the Marines, (He still thinks he can kick my *, I got news for him) and his son, my great nephew, his name is Ryan. Coincidental, HUH.
