As someone whose shot long guns in 500/454/460 take it from me you may not be what y'all expected.
Weaker 500 is tolerable but from a handi rifle full pressure loads quickly become unmanageable. We're talking scope caps flying off cannot keep ahold of the forend unmanageable.
460 is even worse. Scoping one is suicide for your forehead recoil is like a bomb going off in the stock, I even had my TC carbine shear off a scope RING!
YES I've shot a bunch of 45/70 from hot to mild. No they're not even close to these 60k psi + handgun rounds in a light synthetic stocked rifle. That much fast powder accelerating the bullet that hard n fast into the rifling is gonna kick! You simply WOULD NOT want to shoot one of these in a rifle any lighter than the current full sizes hunting rifles in belted magnums.
