Gewehr, not currently listed. Up above in WESHOOT2 post there is a link to the Penn website. Call them up, I found them to be very co urteous and helpful, and honest in that they won't tell you what you want to hear if it isn't true......

I have to say I damn near shat myself at the size of those bullets. Wow... out of a revolver, they must cause serious hurt to any targets.

LOL, if you think those are large check this out. These are 350 grain bullets, shown next to the everyday 250 grain bullet. Notice that they come out within .010" of the end of the cylinder!!!!

Wow i want to try some of them out

Those are typical 350's, for a 45-70!!! The ones in the picture are Bonus Bullets, sent to me to test by a gracious fella over on the S&W forum, thanks Phil!!!!!

You can size them down easily for use in 45 handguns if needed.

Where'd everyone go?

I'm new here but been around a Ruger site for a while. I have ordered up a bunch of these thunderheads and am looking for a good recipe and any meat taking stories involving the 270 gr Penn marvels. My gun is a 7.5" NMBH, .4525" throats. I am hoping to get about 1200 fps with consistant ignition and above average accuracy while staying just south of the 30,000 CUP range if at all possible (for the sake of my hands). Anyone have anything that they would like to share?

Thank you.

I've shot some Buffalo Bore 45 colt loads with LBT 325 grain LFN bullets (advertised 1325 fps) in a ruger vaquero (not the new model) and a marlin 1894 cowboy rifle before. Wow!

I only load CAS loads myself so far, hadn't worked up the nerve to try anything like that yet! One of these days...

Come on now, someone has got to have some hunting stories by now with these bullets. I hope that I'm not the first to report a deer kill this fall with 'em!
