Rich1's thread got me interested: does anyone make such an animal? Why the heck NOT?
In a Freedom Arms 7.5" revolver, you can get 1800 fps with a 250 g. bullet. Imagine what you'd get with a 16" locked-breech carbine!!
If there's a market for the .444 Marlin with its 240 grain bullets at 2300, why wouldn't there be one for the .454 Cassul at nearly the same velocity? For you guys that go nuts for a cartridge combo that suits your rifle and your pistol, you could either carry a .454 pistol (like the new one from Taurus, that actually got favorable reviews from Jim Wilson) or a Blackhawk with stout .45 LC and plenty of extra, that would fire sort of like a .454 Cassull Special in the carbine.
I know several people with Trapper .45 LC's that would love it if their rifles chambered the more powerful round.
Anyone heard of such a thing?
