My advise, put Ram on the ignore list. Once you do that you won’t have to see his posts. Life is better that way.
I prefer classic.

I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

I tried the 500 magnum cartridge in a 336. Could not get it to feed at all. I think I shot sixty some maximum hand loaded rounds before the locking lug deformed and the action ceased to function. 60,000 psi is a tall leap.
My experience with 86,71 and 92 showed me to build a rifle that can handle the 500 magnum and 60,000 psi.
I shot a “92” in 480 Ruger as a test. Maximum handloads using the same components as the pressure data. The action stretched almost .030 in length until I quit shooting it. I could not find 454 to test. Frank, Could you try saying this a different way? Doesn't make a lot of sence and includes some impossibilities as written. Thanks
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

The Rossi lever gun I tried in 480 Ruger was a dangerous rifle. The headspace was over maximum to start with, yes it was new. Loading a maximum load from western powders with the same components, the action stretched an additional thirty thousand. I discontinued testing it in that account. I wouldn’t touch one of their 454s.
I designed the big horn armory model 89 in 500 Smith and Wesson magnum. Built two prototypes, shot and hunted with number two. I understand that rifle is in the Buffalo Bill center of the West. Killed an elk with it. My rifle will withstand sixty thousand psi rounds easily. Number two prototype was machined from 4140 and I couldn’t make it stretch or blow up.
What else?

I picked one of the Smith and Wesson Lever guns up, I had some time to test it out today.
I threw a 5-inch square self-healing target out about 15 yards and started shooting at it, first 10 rounds hit it every time, the rifle was very comfortable, well-balanced
, and cycled very smooth. after 10 rounds the square target was about 40 yards out,I hit it another 7 times then a storm moved it so I packed it up. so far I like it better than my new Marlin 1894 in 44 Mangum.
