    Winchester 94 Trapper 45 Long Colt, ok for 300 gr WFN at 900fps?

    Been playing with the heavy Lee Mold in my Ruger Black Hawk and was thinking this would make a great wild pig round out of the 94 Trapper, I have only shot CAS loads and most of those were 250grain GOEX loads. Any of you guys run any heavy loads in your pistol caliber 94s?

    Thanks for your time.

    I shot 340gr SSK TC boolits over 22.5gr 296 in both my BH and my 94AE. It will take all the Ruger/TC loads you want to feed it. LOL wear a shoulder pad if you are going to shoot more than 15 or 20 of these..
    Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?

    I bought a PAST to run my Model 70 in 338, maybe I'll break it out for this one too.
    Thanks, I thought it should be good to go.
