boom stick450 alaskan bfr
is this a brainfart or candy for the big bore handcannon crowd?
i read lee martins article on the 500 martin which i think is a good idea based on the economics of using an existing bfr 500 s&w .50 barrel, the good bullet selection for the 500 s&w and the 50 alaskan case and thought what about the 45-70 bfr rechambered to the 450 alaskan??? more case capacity and the existing 458 barrel. there are no flies on the 45-70 in the bfr but to throw the heavy bullets in lower preasure might appeal to some.

bfrshooterI have to ask, to what purpose? You can get the BFR in .450 Marlin and an extra cylinder for the 45-70. You have the best of both worlds in one gun.
