Here is one of the ''hand cannon'' category revolvers
which comes with a free dose of grin! It is a blast
to shoot. Chosen as 45-70 caliber much as anything
because that old round is so versatile when being
able to reload. The Holosight, although not for
everyone very pretty - makes for an excellent sighting
system.
45-70 Govt was originally of course a black powder
round but as a smokeless has a usefully low pressure
profile. For trap door use and old guns a load around
25,000 CUP is at the bottom end but for something
like the BFR this can be well cranked up to the
30,000 region. With a 405 grain Lasercast SWC there
is about 1550 ft lbs at the muzzle which is more
than useful but leaves things quite comfortable
and controllable. |
