BIGGEST ... To ... smallest

Ill take a 3mm Kolbri(sp) Over your .50bmg pistol.
Ill tickle you with its tiny slugs, cause you to lose control of the hand cannon thusly knocking you out.

A 45 Colt or 44 Magnum will out class a 300 Winchester Magnum under 100 yards. The 300 Win Mag TKO's at 24.64 from a rifle. From a single shot handgun it will suffer from the same problem as the 45-70, not enough barrel length to burn the powders. Anything in a rifle cartridge is going to have that problem.

Yeah but just plain and simple what is the most powerful revolver or semi-auto. No single shot stuff. I still say that the .454 is it. I could very easily be wrong. I think that the .50AE could overthrow it if they would load it a little hotter. If they can?

Robert, that's actually what I meant...I didn't mean to say that the BFR couldn't outclass the .454. Since the BFR is the only production .45-70 (as far as I know), I just said that the BFR couldn't do it. Did I clear things up? .45-70 ammo is, as you said, made for rifles, and as such has a slower burn rate. Makes perfect sense. I enjoy my Casull, but eventually, I'll get a .475 Linebaugh or a .500.
 
Frontsight,

Seen those Freedom Arms floating around town for about $1100 to $1300 used (Premium). Last summer someone dumped a bunch of FA's around the Portland area gun stores. I didn't think about getting one then, now I regret it. Got the hots for a 454 or 475. Seen a few at Auction Arms.com, but they are way too expensive in comparison to what we pay for these guns in the NW.

Forty-five seventy has some burn problems even in the Guide Gun. You have to load them on the fast end of rifle powders. Powders like 2400, IMR 4227, IMR 4198 and Reloader 7 work best. I torched a guy at the range one day by accident. He was shooting in the lane next to me. The flame from the ports burnt his arm. Now everyone stays away from me when they see my car parked in the corner lane I always use.
