    Also keep in mind that Gunbroker sales will generate a 1099 come tax time. I'm not about to pay income taxes on my guns. Some would be a loss.

    If a .454 will seat in the case and chamber in your firearm you are good to go. Use the fattest bullet which will chamber.

    Engaging the rifling is a good thing if it doesn't interfere with the bolt closing or removing a loaded round. It contributes to accuracy.

    Well, it wasn't obscure at one time. Way back someone had to make tools. Maybe a good light bullet for a 38-55?
