Is that the factory butt pad on that rifle? I’ve never seen one before but that thing looks thick!

EDIT: Sorry, Justin. I didn't scroll down to see your post.

JUST BOUGHT A 20" ROSSI SS 454 OFF OF GB, THE SELLER, WHO SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT, SAYS THE 16" ARE DISCONTINUED, AND SAYS THESE ROSSI 454's ARE GREAT OUT OF THE BOX. THE NEWER MODELS ARE D&T'ed (4 HOLES UNDER THE REAR SIGHT FOR A PICCATINNY RAIL), AND I GOT A MOUNT OFF OF EBAY FOR AROUND $50.00. PLAN TO PUT AN ULTRA-DOT GEN II ON IT.
I HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF DIFFERENT OLDER FACTORY 454 AMMO, NOT A LOT OF ANY 1 LOAD, TO PLAY WITH, AND SOME OF MY OWN 454 LOADS TO PLAY WITH. HOPE TO HAVE IN HAND EARLY NEXT WEEK. PLAN TO USE IT FOR HUNTING AT La Chata (ONE OF MY DEER LEASES WHERE HANDGUN HUNTING IS NOT ALLOWED).

Nose profile of the boolit seems to be the key factor. The first 454's and 480's did not have a threaded tube so that was a bad thing. The tube would move forward out of the receiver. Mine is threaded and I have no problems with it. |

Mine will cycle 45 Colt if the COL is not on the very short side. I was surprised, but it will also cycle (but barely) the Garrett .45 RHO 405 grain load at 1.785".
