Rossi Puma .454

Does the Rossi Puma in .454 also cycle the .45 LC?  Had a chance to buy one in stainless.

Yes.  Trust us, you will use far more .45's than .454's.

Make sure that if you fire a fair amout of 45 lc that you clean out the chamber good before loading a longer 454. It will create access pressure do to the fouling that is created by the shorter 45 lc.

Hi Dixie,

I have two Pumas.  One in .357.  It's the old model 16" with no safety.  I also have the new blue 20" .454 with the safety.  (Just ignore it.)  I put peep sights on both and they shoot great.  All of the above is true.  Especially the use of more .45 Colts than .454's.  I am a big guy and the full house .454's kick my #$^!  No kidding.
