Omg!

There's a whole lotta NOPE in that pic!

[Caleb]

I would not shoot that.!

[sdmc530]

I wouldn't even load that thing...jeesh...what a beast. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. That is a big gun!

You should see the size of the Holster for that thing

I think I'll settle for a BFR (commonly known as a "Big F***ng Revolver", but actually it actually stands for "Big Frame Revolver") in 45-70 (they also make it in 444 Marlin, 450 Marlin, 460 S&W, and 500 S&W Magnum)

A lot cheaper, both for the gun and the ammo. (MSRP $1149) Maybe not big enough for elephant but you can still shoot buffalo with it...

Now where in the world am I going to find reloading dies for that? I can see the recipe now. 1lb of H110. Just dump the whole 1lb bottle in there. I am probably going to have to scrounge all the lead taken in in a day at Good year to melt down to make 1 bullet. What is everyone thinking, magnum rifle primer? That's not a bullet, that's an artillery shell.

Dr.Henley,

It seems pricey at first, but I think that includes shipping so.........

Also, It's not really THAT much more expensive than shooting a .22lr.

I know some guys with the BFR's in 45-70 and they say they're really fun to shoot.

was thinking about getting one for a while but something else has caught my eye.

Big wheel guns are cool I agree, but the price to shoot them is a huge down side for me. My FIL and myself were considering splitting the price on a 500 a while back but to shoot the thing was to spendy for us. Seems silly to buy a gun and only be able to shoot it 20 times a year because the ammo is so spendy!

get you a Ruger Blackhawk in 44 mag and hot load it with 320 gr cast bullets, plenty of thump without costing an arm and a leg.
