    45 Long Colt

    Out of a rifle it is said you can stoke these up a bit over factory handgun loads.
    Here for example. Is the Rossi '92 design in line with a Winchester '94 or Ruger Bisley strength wise?

    I would be more than happy getting 1400fps from a 250gr bullet, let alone over 1700fps!!

    Thoughts?

    Ouch. If I was to get a 45-70 it would be one of those Baikal SxS double rifles...
