I recently ordered a Lever Action in .454 Casull and was wondering if anyone had chronographed this round out of a longer barrel.

Not having a chronograph, I was curious as to how much of a velocity increase I can expect.

I emailed this question to Buffalo Bore Ammunition and according to Tim Sundles I should gain about 300 fps.

Examples:
Buffalo Bore 300gr JFP out of the rifle (approx.):
1950 fps 2534 ft.-lbs.

Winchester 260gr PGHP out of the rifle (approx.):
2100 fps 2547 ft.-lbs.

A .454 Casull out of a lever action is a decent concept. Who makes the lever action you have? What's the barrel length?

It's a Winchester 92 clone made by Rossi and imported by Legasy Sports International.

Available in blued and stainless with 16" and 20" barrels (I ordered the 20" stainless).
