I introduced my son to rifle shooting when he was just a little guy with the .45-70 stoked with the old cast Army revolver bullet, Lyman 454190 and about 8 grains of Unique. Also 400+ grain FP bullets with 10 grains of Unique. Like a big wheelgun cartridge. Very cheap to shoot also, and truth be known,the latter is a killer on game up to the size of deer anyhow.

He was so young and small couldn't hold up the gun and had to shoot from sandbag-rested prone, but he sure did like seeing those big holes in the target. Made him feel like a Real He-Man compared to when he just shot BB Gun and his Hi-Velocity Small Bore {.22 LR...

}

The .454190 bullet was undersize but shot well at 25 yards and since the case didn't grab the bullet too well, we just handloaded them straight into the chamber like we were working an underlever single shot. Lessons on action types right there at an early age!

The .458 seems to me to be a super option for a "fun gun" and old timey pistol powder/cast bullet loads.

Nice job, Bonanza. Other end of the spectrum from that .264!
