<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 795754, member: 13650&quot;]You may have an argument here.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what the added velocity would have amounted to out of a rifle though.&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing some but not much.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;I&#039;m not an expert on .45LC&#039;s but the reloading book I&#039;ve got shows that single action army revolvers and cowboy gun replicas can&#039;t handle the higher power loads that modern day .45LC Rugers like mine can take.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s a considerable difference in velocity.&nbsp;&nbsp; You&#039;re talking 6-800 FPS compared to 1000 to 1100+ FPS.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s just such a large slug.&nbsp; I would think it would take a very high velocity to get through the coin.&nbsp; Maybe a modern one could do it?&nbsp;&nbsp; The .45LCs for the rifles of the day would have been the same consistency as the revolvers were using so they could be interchangable, I would think. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I don&#039;t mind testing the theory some day.&nbsp; I&#039;ll find an old, beat up, scratched, cleaned, junk one for cheap and test it.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Might make for a good contest.&nbsp; Will it go through or wont it?&nbsp; &nbsp; Unless the mythbusters test was enough for you guys.&nbsp;&nbsp; They didn&#039;t try the .45LC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
