Bought one for snakes as I live on the marsh..I do have some Hefty 45LC loads and was wondering if I could use them occasionally in this stainless 6" Double action? Thanks!  "That's not a knife..THIS is a KNIFE" ! | ||

My brother-in-law has one. We were wondering if it could handle hotrod loads....We found out it can't. It won't handle the preasures. God....Family....Country | |||

I would be tempted to make a 410 gauge from hell using 9,3x74 brass. Top off a 2" case with a 45 cal bullet. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

Safarikid- Did you ever hear of Ham Bowen's work with Paradox Revolvers? I don't have a link to an article or anything like that, but some time in the mid-90s I'd heard of this and was about a redhair from having him build me a paradox rig. I'm surprised you haven't had something of this sort built for yourself. Do consider this, paradox guns run high velocities and low pressures - due to the very long 'freebore' trip from case to rifled choke. They also can pattern very very well and skip the bullshit 'no cartridge hand-shotgun' rules via having rifling at the muzzle. I hope I've given you something to think about here... --Tinker _________________________________ Self appointed Colonel, DRSS | |||

I know the factory says no , but several guys in the Tok area got them and were shooting 300 gr Buffalo Bore in theirs , I said shooting but that is the wrong term .. They had run a cylinder full thru to make sure it worked , then just put a cylinder full in for bear protection .. But they enjoyed the 410 part for grouse , Handy for halibut also .................................... .If it can,t be grown , its gotta be mined .... | |||

SAFARIKID... it wont be hard... people have used 9,3x74 brass to make shotgun shells before but there would be something cool about cutting it to 2" and topping it off with a crimped 45 bullet to get low preasure Cassul plus performance. That would make a Hell of a Jury for that judge 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||
