Try this:

Some of the loads listed are for the 92 clones and are NOT MEANT for your '94 READ IT CAREFULLY!

Go to the thread Hot Loaded .45 L.C. compared to .454 Casull and look at some of the loads discussed there.

Wesco gives some very good advise here. Your 94 will not take the pressure that a rossi 92 will. Paco Kelly has probably done more testing on what a lever gun will take than anyone and the info he gives has been thoroughly tested and not just a WAG after shooting a few rounds.
Please be carefull when taking load advise from the net! What is safe in another persons gun may not be in yours especially if they are different makes and models. You may already understand this but I just dont want to see someone get hurt and it is suprising about how many people DONT know. :-)

Good advice -I've tried some of Pacos loads for my Win 94 45LC- I could not get to the same level as he did in mine-EVERY GUN IS DIFFERENT!! so used his data, but as he say's work up to them in your gun as with any load data you start at the low end and work up!! The 45 LC as the 454 in a rifle is a great game getter-low end BIGBORE rifle. Its not a Supper Magnum! :lol: With the right loads you can get a very effective 200 yd deer rifle or a 150 yd Elk gun. :grin:
