RE: H&R handi in 50S&W
Ok, I was wrong. I just checked a reloading manual on line and it was 52,000-53,000 psi for the 500 S&W and 454 Casul. Still this puts the 45/70 in Ruger#1 and Browning 1885 range for the H&R1871 single shot. We're talking Africa levels in a 7 lb rifle. I guess it will but one or the other for the deer/bear hunts in the UP of Mi this year.
