How bout a bigboy carbine in .45acp. It would hold eleventy hunnert rounds, pair up with my 1911 and my P220, and knock down most varmints. I already reload for it, and have five gallon buckets of brass. I would buy
After thinking on this one, might not be a bad idea. Sure would be a fun set-up. Hmm.
Right, and I'm sitting on a PILE of acp brass at the moment with only a convertible BH to shoot them in.
Lol, just a couple weeks ago I was rearranging under the bench, and found a coffee can, a 2lb. version half full of primed brass. :shock: ;)

Randy, same thing here. Looking for something else, and I find more .45 acp brass in coffee cans, boxes. Not to mention .38 spl brass. :shock:
That .45 acp rifle could be a good seller and a hoot to have.

I wonder if 45 acp with a moon clip would feed, fire and eject.

edit: busted idea. Looks like moon clips aren't made for single rnds.

I have five gallon buckets, that's plural, of 45acp brass. From years of shooting in competition. I was buying the ammo by the case.
Plus the reloading.....

I'm not shooting competition any more. When I packed up to leave Virginia and move to Oklahoma, I gave my mentor all the brass I had except two buckets of each caliber I reload: 9mm, 38, 40, 45. I gave him a dozen or dozen and a half five gallon buckets of sorted brass in those calibers and 223, and shotgun hulls. I don't reload 223 and the shotgun shells. My guy HAD plenty of spent brass, a small building full, but I knew he taught LOTS of private classes, and taught reloading as well, he would see the brass dispersed to those who would need it but might not be able to afford it.

I couldn't afford to haul it all 1400 miles. I also gave him a bunch of extra range stuff. Target frames, various targets and backers, stands, etc.
Didn't have the room for it all in the two U-hauls. :evil: He said he'd find room in his range house. :lol:

Although I don't have a bucket full, I have plenty of .45 ACP brass and three handguns to use it in. One Ruger Blackhawk .45 with the ACP cylinder, a Remington R1 and A 1937 Colt National Match.

I have alot of 45acp brass as well. I havent given my 45's much attention lately becasue of the primer situation. I have some LPP but Im to my reserve that I refuse to go below. I see SPP losing up some but LPP and LRP are still to spendy for me. I also have a ton of the most unloved caliber I know of the 40 S&W. But I have a PC Carbine in that caliber and a 1911 Rock that I just bought to shoot those. I would take a look at a levergun in 45acp as I think that would be a fun gun also.

I wonder if the BBS could handle the 460 S&W pressures. That would be a nice rifle.

The Color Case Hardened 45 Colt is heavy because of the octagon barrel. I'd like to see the same CCH with a round barrel.

In 35 Remington, that would be sweet, and a regular checkered stock.
Not that carved up garbage they produce now.

I think the Long Ranger in .358 Win. All they would have to do is replace the barrel on the 308. The .358 is what the .35 Rem wants to be when it grows up.

A correct Mare's Leg in .45-70 You might only have 3 shots including one in chamber but they would be 3 cool shots and about all you would need close range! 405 gr. with just 13 gr. of Unique would be a relatively comfortable wallop.

They could easily do a 444 in a single shot.
Thought about doing it myself.
Buy a 44 mag., then ream it out to 444.
Would be a great cast bullet rifle, especially if the 44 has the 1 to 20 twist. ;)
