Pistol powder is non existent let alone the Alliant brand of powders. If you find some consider yourself lucky. Luckily I've got more then enough for a while and don't use alot of Alliant powders.

I guess I got lucky, last time I I bought a bunch of different powders they had every thing I needed in stock.
 
If I buy 454 casual brass and use the different primer, is it still safe to load to 45 colt levels? Or should I use colt loadings and brass together?
 
It must have been clearer in my head.
Can I use 45 colt recipes with the 454 casing and the small rifle primer? Or do I need to load these in the 45 colt case with large pistol primers?

On a somewhat related note...does anyone know where a Rossi 1892 Puma Stainless in 454 Casull can be found in Canada these days? It looks like Wanstalls had some about a year ago but they're all gone and I haven't seen any since.

We have 20" Rossi 92s in Stainless in 454 in stock now and Wanstalls is one of our great dealers that can get it for you.

You know, I'm sure I remember tripping over this on your site a couple months back while searching for this gun but I didn't take action then and promptly forgot about it. Thank you for reminding me!
 
We need a Canadian company that builds all kinds of Mare's Legs and Ranch hands... All in cool calibers like a multi tube system that will fire S&W .500 or a 45-70 government with a barrel brake.

If you are going to really utilize the 454 to it's fullest extent, you need premium bullets. I don't have either 45 LC or 454 C but I've read enough about the 454 C's need for premium bullets.
If you want, I've a small plethora of good 454 C projectiles. Tried to sell them on the EE, but too many 45 LC handgunners lowballed me so I said to heck with it.
Most are Freedom Arms and also I've got a bag of no-name bullets; make an offer that isn't insulting and I'll help you out

Or cast your own.
Bullet casting isn't rocket science.
Lots of Youtube tutorials online.
The equipment isn't that expensive and if you shoot a lot it'll save you a bundle.
A lot of the commercial bullets are too soft for the likes of the high powered 45-70 and 454 Casull rounds.
You'll need to slug the barrel of your gun to determine the diameter of lead bullet it will take.
You'll never get the proper accuracy from your gun if you are not using the appropriate diameter bullet.
The barrel diameters of different guns even of the same make, model and caliber are slightly different.

Used to be a Winchester plant in Cobourg, Ontario and most of us old guys still remember C-I-L Dominion ammo.
Still have a box or two of KKSPs and Sabre Tip ammo kicking around.
I think the Liberals regulated and red taped them to death and they either closed their doors or moved to where there was a semblance of democracy.
 
Guys the reason that shooting 45 Colt in a 454 Casull chamber be it a handgun or a rifle is frowned upon is that the shorter 45 Colt brass when fired can leave a carbon ring in the chamber.

When you fire a longer 454 Casull brass and this build up is enough to create a tight fit on the longer brass pressures can spike.

Simple solution is to check/clean the chamber before switching back to 454 Casull.

I also know where one of these rifles in sst is = my safe... :)
