Doesn't really belong in military rifles or precision long range sub-forums, so I guess I'll ask the question here.

I saw a 16" Rossi m92 in .45 Colt at the fun store today. Looks like a cool little brush popper. Trouble is, I have always been a Marlin guy. I'm not familiar with this action (I know it's a Winchester knock-off). Wood looked good, bluing looked good.... saddle ring all the cool kids have and decent buckhorn sights that take me back to the day...

I already cast and load for .45 Colt. Any issues with the high end "Ruger only" loads? They make one of these in .454, so I imagine the action can handle hot .45 Colt. I'll probably just stick to standard pressure loads, but it would be nice to know there's room to go up.

Any issues with a hardcast lead bullet? Standard Ballard type rifling? Ejection issues (.45 Colt has a small rim, but it's never mattered on my single action guns)?


Any thoughts / experiences would be appreciated.

Here's the one...
