Tatume, that's what I was trying to say! In theory, there is less "effective" rim for the extractor to grab. Thanks for explaining it better than I did. Tt.

Hi Sarg,

Thank you for your service.

Take care, Tom

Bo1, I agree, just buy one of each. Do a bunch of measuring and figuring and fly into it. There is a billion different options but by paying attention you will come up with what will work. Then you will figure out what works BEST for each one. In my pinion either one is a good choice so I gotta agree with run5run's earlier post of "picking the one you find that feels the best". If you get tired just pm me as I would take either one and keep working it so it stayed in shape. JW

Sometime ago I shortened the stock for a friends daughter on a Ruger semi, .44 rifle. He told me to try it out. That magazine was a pain so I loaded my 320 gr LBT's single shot. I could not shoot down range because the farmer was working the field so I put a target in the other direction against a tree.
The gun was pretty accurate but I found I was shooting all the boolits through the tree. Good size tree and it is still alive.
I sure wish they had made the magazine longer.

if i were going to buy one i would go to the store and pick the rifle i liked best based on the attributes of the individual rifle.
fit,finish,feel of the action,sights.

That is good advice.

Bo1,
You could also add a 454 to the 44, 45 list...

I have to fit a bolt action 30/06 in here somewhere. All I have in that caliber is a carbine.
My next handgun is going to be a 460, which I'm sure you know will also shoot the 454 Casule.
