Talk about an excellent brush gun cartridge. Anyone producing it at an affordable price yet?

Big Horn Armory is the only one that I'm aware of. They are beautiful firearms but I wouldn't exactly classify them as affordable.

Not that I'm aware of. In the fwiw column though, the .454 from a carbine will out-power a .308 rifle. My 20" .454 puma launches a 240-grain bullet at more than 2400 fps; or more than 3,100 ft/lbs of energy. IMO, there's not a thing on my continent that can't be taken with that power level, especially out to as far as I'm going to hit anything with an iron-sighted levergun. If a person wants 'more' than that out of a levergun, that's well & good and more power to them (so to speak.. ); personally I don't want anything more than that.

I would rather use a .45-70, unless you are specifically talking about carrying a wheelgun that shoots the exact same load/ammo....
