The federal .410 buckshot loads are what I prefer. Hornady Leverevolution.45lc rounds are good also.
I cast and handload everything I shoot. That makes for some very effective rounds for the BFR...especially in .410.
For my 45/70's, it's either 405 gr Lee or 350 gr Ranchdog molds.
I'm a big fan of the Ranchdog moulds. I like the 350gr .432 for my .444 Marlin. It's even pretty good for very heavy .44 Mag loads.
How do you buy your lead - by weight or volume?
Peter buys by the 55 gal drum load - one time he brought 2-55 gal drums full home at the same time!!!
Think he broke the fork lift unloading them. :uhoh: :lol:
Don't tell the EPA, or anyone in the gubment. They'll say that's manufacturing.
But, but, I'm just a wheelweight collector:lol::lol::lol:

Hey, great thread! Thanks for posting this up.
I have been contemplating a 454 Casull for mountain trips up here in the Northwest, but am leery of the nasty recoil on those things.
I like the recoil figures Magnum puts out for the rifle calibers (45/70) being much lower. As well, they can make them in 375 Winchester/38-55, and as I own both rifles, this makes it a logical choice instead of the 454.
May need to think about this for a bit.
I always wanted a Desert Eagle in .44 mag. My little hands just don't fit around the handle. Dangit. And I won't buy a weapon that I can't hold in one hand and fire. I generally would use a two-handed grip to fire almost anything of course for accuracy but I feel the need to be able to shoot one handed also. So tell me, does the DE have heaps of recoil or is it mild?
