Thanks for the input everyone, while I’m not still not quite sure which one to go with, this answered a lot of questions I had about these cartridges. Thank you for your help :thumbup:

Sorry if I'm not super active on the thread, I'm just reading and thinking. Just not sure what questions to ask with none of the velocities really breaking that 2200 barrier for hydro-static shock the bigger the bullet the better. so 454 would seem to jump to the top, hot 45colt and go for when...

It would be use primarily on small deer and hogs. The hogs are getting kinda big though...

Guess that’s why I was having trouble finding a more recent review of one. I saw that they were having some trouble with the 454 but the posts were a few years old and was wondering if that meant they were better now, as Rossi still has them up on their site and I didn’t see anything that said...

And that’s why it’s good to talk to others . I had forgot that bullets are designed to do what they do in a certain velocity window, hence why the .444 marlin had such a rough start, it was using bullets made for .44 magnum speeds. Sort of Puts the kibosh on a “seamless” pistol rifle combo but...

I live in Texas so it would probably be mostly pig and the small deer that hang around my area but I’d like to head north sometime,still stay in the lower 48 mind you, and while shopping for rifles is fun I’m so indecisive it becomes tedious. So deer and pig but with the option to bigger.

No specific rifle, I’d like for it to be a lever action but I don’t mind if it’s not. I do know that the only lever actions for 454 are a Rossi 92 or the Big Horn Armory M89. But for the .357 and .44 most everyone is making good rifles these days.

I’m trying to decide which cartridge would be the most “utilitarian” for hunting purposes. With each one moving to a 20” barrel can net an extra 3-400 FPS with the right loads, putting them all in the same 1700-1900 FPS range, so then the differences are weight and diameter and I guess drop at...

So after a little research .243 and the 6.5cm seem to be the front runners for me, but I'll have to get a second rifle in .308.(oh woe is me:)) so one last question, are either 243 or 6.5cm better if I reload, like maybe the manufacturers aren't loading to the cartridge's potential?

I was hesitant about 30-06 because I had watched a video that said that 30-06 was too much for anything you wanted to eat, because the average round went 2950 to 3100fps, and would ruin a lot of the meat around the wound. I was hoping to stay away from any magnum rounds because the wear they...

Agreed and 500 is the MAX i would hunt at, I was thinking about plains animals and elk, in my personal experience just hiking around quietly, (Not hunting quiet but not bushwacking) startled elk up on a hillside a quarter mile or so away, and later saw them watching me closer to a half mile...

I'm looking for a caliber that's good for the 50 to 150 yard range (pigs and deer) but can also reach out to 500 if needed, .223 is questionable for deer hunting and loses much of it's effectiveness past 200 yards, ( or so I've been told) and 7.62x39mm drops like a rock around 300. Semi...
