I would love to find a 454 lever action. That would be an exellent brush gun. Cut the trees down and keep on going. I can get a little over 2000 f.p.s. out of my Raging Bull. You should be able to get it up a little more out of a rifle.

I've had a Rossi Stainless w/fiber optic open sights in 454 for a couple of years now. Not had an opportunity to shoot anything w/it but targets yet, but it's a great handling little rifle that does a good job of taming some of the heavier loads. Accuracy for me runs about 2.5 inches at 100 yards, but that's more me than the rifle.  I haven't chronoed the loads, but it seems to be getting a little more of of the shells.
