big al hunter:

So you won't be able to shoot .454 through a cylinder cut for moon clips? Dang. I thought that might be the case. Is it because of the pressure that isn't supported by the area removed to make room for the moon clips? Are you sure about this?

But, if I can get two cylinders, that'd fit the bill for me. I DO want to get into hand-loading. It just something further down the road for me, since that is an investment in and of itself. I'd hand load .45 ACP and 9mm if it saved me $$$. I've got more time than money.

So, the .454 companion rifle meets muster? Glad to hear it! I was wondering if it'd be able to take .45 LC, too. I'm going to read that thread next. Thanks for the comments/info.
