McNett,

Excellent report and very interesting. You're certainly getting good velocity from both revolver and lever action. I agree, sure appears to be an good combination. Quite frankly, I'll admit to your referenced prejudice and didn't expect the Puma to perform as well as it does.

We've had posts that like everything about the rifle except the factory sights.....are you using them or have substituted?

MCNETT,

There is an excellent 11 page article on the Rossi .454 carbine in the November "Accurate Rifle" magazine. It gives the Rossi a real "thumbs up" as well as good information on the .454 development and the resulting carbine.

I don't think "Accurate Rifle" is available "off the shelf", but if interested, you might give them a call at 860-645-8776. This magazine is an excellent source for rifle enthusiasts and covers a lot of ground, from old timers, to African hunting and ocassionally includes a handgun article.

Primers for .454

kidcoltoutlaw,

For whatever it may be worth, there is an article in the "Tech Notes" section that addresses primers for the .454.
