45 Colt - .452…. 45-70 - .458 200 gr vs 400. God only knows what the powder charge may have been…. How big a hammer did he use to chamber the thing? Dude’s lucky he’s even still alive.
I found a write up from the range and range officer where it happened. The pistol was modified to accept 45-70, but the owner (who purchased it from a pawn shop) decided to try +P Buffalo Bore rounds.

Someone at work asked "How the hell did they get it in?", someone else's comment was "Well, it's a Taurus."
