[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 972182, member: 75933"] careful with the 1885 in 454. Wild West guns here in anchorage did some testing and found that even after very few rounds the high pressure 454 caused dimesion changes to the receiver of the 1885. those old lever guns are nice but were never designed for a handgun cartridge as powerful as the 454. they actually made one of there own lever actions around the 500SW and the first one they tried was supposed to be strong enough. that first high pressure 500 split the action open like it was made of clay. so if you want longevity, maybe keep the 1885 to 45LC instead.
