45 Winchester Super Long

Hi Guys,
I just found out my Taurus 454 will shoot 45acp with moon clips. It got me to thinking.

If you were to use 30/06 Basic cylinder brass as a case, could you make something work for the 454 Raging Judge (thats the Judge that 410 or 454 Mag)??
Moon clips will work on it. The 454 has a chamber pressure of around 50K and the Raging Judge has 3 inches of cylinder to play with.

So how much BANG could you make with a 45 that has an overall length of 3 inches and a max pressure of 50K????

OUCH,
John

With the right E- Clips You could build a nice double barreled or single shot

or what ever!
A 50 cal with .404 cylinder brass might be quite interesting

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..
