Our Rossi distributor just sent us a few more 454 rifles. ETA is a week, maybe ten days:

These rifles are insane. 2800ft/lbs+ of energy from some of my "max" but still run-of-the-mill loads.
300grn XTP @ 2000fps
240grn XTP @ 2300
260grn JSP @ 2250!
Recoil is stiff but doesn't wear you out. I'm very happy with mine aside from a few minor complaints.

I wonder why they don't seem to make 16" ones as much?

The length of the 460 S&W could be an issue.
Not sure it would work. I know the Big Horn Armory rifles have issues with cycling all three loads.
Prophet River should be able to chime in on this.
I was wondering too if it cycles .45 Colt, and if perchance it's a magazine tube that would hold 10 rounds of that but only 9 of the longer .454 Casull? That might add usefulness to the rifle as a backup lever for Cowboy Action.

They seem to cycle 45LC with most(many?) loads
I own and load for a standard Rossi 45 colt and they seem to take pressure very well, I load Ruger handloading data and seat the bullet out to their recommended COL feeding no issues, I have some room to spare as well. I normally shoot 315gr cast bullets at 1600 fps, that's about all I want from a curved steel butt plate.
If you read some articles or source up Poco Kelly write ups and testing the 45 colt in a Rossi M92, it will be eye opening, he was shooting better the 1600 out of 300 gr bullets. I believe factory 454 from a pistol is around 1600fps add an other 200-250 from a carbine.
standard Rossi 92s are a strong rifle.
Interesting read....

I am not sure how that's even possible as a conversion but right on. My complaints are mostly how hard the gun is on brass. .454 is not cheap and most cases come out quite swollen. It's a thing with my .357 R92 as well, tapered chambers. The shell guides are so tight that any ammo that is even the tiniest bit out of round can hang up. Other than that it's great. I'm trying to find a rear sight that doesn't utilize the rear dovetail or taps. No luck unfortunately.

The chamber's aren't "sloppy" they are tapered. I believe almost every straight wall cartridge lever gun features that to some degree to ensure smooth feeding into the chamber.
