Braztech (Rossi) M92 in 454

After dragging my feet when they were still making them, I thought I'd missed out on ever finding a Rossi M92 in 454. At least one that didn't have a Gunbroker discontinued gun premium price tag.

Yesterday though, I needed to be in the next town North. Since I was there, it was a must to go peruse the gunstore, I mean, really! It was necessary!
I'm sure you all know that inexorable draw.

What was sitting in the lever gun rack? That's right, a 454 Rossi. Brand new!

My best buddy wanted one also, and asked me to look for one.
Hhhmmm, do I buy it for me? Or do I pick it up for my buddy?
In the end, with money very tight around here, I used the credit card to pick it up for my bud.

There were a number of folks here that bought 454 Rossi's here. I seem to remember top level loads are very hard on these, and was thinking loading down enough to go easy on the gun. Heck, they don't really need to be a whole lot more than 5 shot 45 Colt loads.
Any suggestions?

Most likely the bullet is either going to be the RCBS 45-300-swcgc, or an LFN style 300gr. ~
