A slower smokeless powder in 45 Colt gives better velocity, especially in a rifle. CFE Pistol powder, max book load of 9.2gr can push a 250gr RNFP cast bullet over 1000fps in a 7 inch barreled single action pistol, and still be under the SAAMI 14000 PSI pressure max, at around 13000 PSI. Add another 200-300 fps or so out of a rifle with the same load. You don't have to run +P loads in a 45 Colt to get it moving. At the "standard" (black powder) velocity of ~900fps, the 45 Colt is still no slouch, it was a cartridge originally designed to drop a horse at 150 yards!

@@gB-xd5fk Never hot rodded 45 Colt, no need to. But I have seen standard 45Colt loads in the ~1350fps range out of a 20" 92 lever action. That's more than enough. You can see some barrel leading at that speed range though, so got to watch your lead hardness. Speed isn't everything. In those old cartridges, mass > speed. Take a look at the 45-70 as an example. That 405 - 500gr bullet is a freight train that can drop a Grizzly, moose, or buffalo, and it's not moving any faster, usually in the original loading at around 1100fps. BP is not a very efficient powder compared to smokeless, they used mass instead of speed to improve power. Increased mass also gave increased range, and effectiveness at range. That's why you see the old rifle cartridges in the higher calibers. To move that much mass also needed more BP, so the cartridge size went up too. The limits of what BP can do really shows in the later BP cartridge era, with things like the 50-110 up to the 4 bore calibers for big game (elephant, rhino, hippo) hunting. I've heard there were even bigger, but have never seen one. I turned down the opportunity to shoot a 4 bore many years ago, and after seeing the bruise it left behind on the owner, don't regret it. :)

@@damrgee8279 Believe it or not, .454 Casull can top 45-70 out of a rifle. This is mainly due to the fact that 454 is usually loaded to 65,000psi, where .45-70 generally ranges anywhere from 28,000psi to 32,000psi. Now, you can definitely get more out of .45-70 if you really push the envelope. Even tho, generally speaking, the maximum safe recommended PSI is 32,000, some folks have loaded .45-70 to 50,000psi, and that'll sling a heavy bullet real fast; but to say it's risky is an understatement

I have both of those guns although my rifle is the blued version. I've done some action work and they are very slick. Like you I'm a fan of the 45 Colt. I have 3 of them and almost bought a Bond Arms derringer in 45 Colt but ended up passing on that. One thing about the Rossi's is the fact that they have a very quick and cheap finish on the furniture but at the same time it is very easily removed. On both of my rifles I've sanded then to 600 grit and did a hand rubbed oil finish. It really brings out the beauty in these rifles and I see one of your guns has some nice figure in the butt stock. If that were my rifle I would be chomping at the bit to have a go around with that wood. But I'm an old part time wood worker-mostly a wood turner now-so i like doing that kind of stuff. Great vid. BTW if you go to the Rossi rifle forum and look in the reloading section you can find where some of the guys were developing hot 45 Colt loads. It's been at least 4-5 years since I've visited there but if I remember correctly Lil Gun was one of the powders they were using

Couple years I was using a Rossi M92 lever rifle in .45 long colt during deer season. A young buck was heading towards my stand, wind in my favor, when he suddenly stopped, turned sideways and just stood in that position. Figuring that the 225 gr bullet would drop a little I aimed at the top of his back just behind his shoulder (open sights) and dropped him with one shot. Turned out the bullet dropped very little and I cut his spine in two. Next day I measured the distance from my tree stand to where the buck dropped and it was 94 yards, which is hard to believe even though i double checked that distance.

Added magazine capacity and increased sight radius with the rifle, but the carbine is handier with similar power output. I myself have a rossi 92 trapper with a scout scope, in 45 LC. The rifle is light, handy, and accurate. The scope is nice for my aging eyes and while I haven't chronographed it, I believe it will still deliver good power. Handguns can deliver impressive power, an while my 16 inch barrel may not reach the level of the carbine or rifle, I bet it's not far behind.

We did see a difference in his handloads where he ran slower burning powder, it was ~125 fps with another 4" of barrel. There's a limit to everything in pistol calibers. Just so happens 20" barrels are pretty much right where things are maximized with .44-40, .357mag, .44 mag, .45 Colt, etc. Only with the bigger horsepower stuff would I suspect in most factory loads you'd see a bit more velocity with longer barrels, such like .454 Casull, .460 S&W mag. I don't think .500 S&W mag would benefit, from what I've seen with the Big Horn Armory lever. High pressure longer casings benefit some. It's more about increased magazine capacity, sight radius, and how the barrel swings/handles. Velocity increase is quite impressive with .357magnum in levers. Buffalo Bore published data with real-world firearms, but BB loads their cases to about max in all practical purposes.
