Rossi 454

[Flbt]

A guy is wanting to trade me a Rossi 454 92 Copy.
Has any one ever used one?
Any idea about them?
I have had 2 of there 44 and one of there 357 rifles. I had good luck with them.
The trapper version of the 44 is one of my main go to close in hog rifle.

When the 454 first came out I heard that there was some problems with blow back from the hoter 454 loads. A lot of talk around the gun shop. But I don’t know any one first hand on that.
Have any of you heard about that?

I have a recent production 20" Rossi R92 stainless. I have only fired it a few times using Buffalo Bore 360 grain hard cast. So nothing of value to report on that. I have cycled several types of 454 Casull factory loaded ammo through it without issue. As well as 45 Colt ammo without issue. It cycles as slickly as any Marlin or Winchester lever gun that I have.
My son has one, he has fired his a bit more using the 335 gr hard cast Buffalo Bore and the Hornady factory loaded 300 grain XTP Mag bullet. I have not experienced anything that I would consider an anomaly as to brass not sealing in the chamber or primer issues.
I actually like it a lot. I am in the process of replacing the factory wood with laminated from Steve's Gunz.
