Given that the 45 Colts cycle and the 454 Casull doesnt makes me wonder if it's the projectile shape. I'd try a few and see what works. I've had a Henry that hated some bullet shapes but worked fine w/ others
@coloradosupercars it's certainly possible. The 45 colts were lead flat nose. The lead flat nose 454 (the longest cartridge) did cycle the best of the 454s.
It is my understanding that Rossi is out of the lever gun business and that its "sister" company Heritage, under the Taurus umbrella, is taking over that branch/type of firearm.
@@SmoknJaysGarage From what I've heard and take it with a box of store brand salt, Heritage will be the sole producer of lever guns under the Taurus corporate umbrella. Personally, I do not think Heritage produces anything I would spend my retirement money on as is, so I can't see that branch of Taurus producing a lever gun I would even consider. By the way ALL my hunting rifles are lever guns!
@@SmoknJaysGarageIF and only IF what I have heard is true Heritage, the lowest grade of firearm under the Taurus umbrella, is taking over lever gun production and they will be much cheaper price wise than what Rossi.. Based on what I have seen of Heritage firearms to date, if it's true, I'll be scouring the used rifle racks for a Rossi R92 in either .357 Magnum or .44 Magnum in the very near future. I actually hope I'm wrong about the above but your difficulties with customer service regarding your R92 makes me wonder if what I've heard recently is actually true.

@furmanmackey5479 I haven't heard that, but it's possible. Heritage is still making their own guns though, are they taking over both brands?

@@furmanmackey5479 it's definitely something worth keeping an eye on.
@@SmoknJaysGarage Rossi owns Heritage now. They purchased Heritage earlier this year.
Your original .454 loads were 325-grain bullets.
