In between house projects I managed to get the 454 lever action back together. In the process I learned why it locked up at the range. There is a pin that goes through the bottom of the bolt that keeps the spring loaded ejector in place and is also the connection to the lever. That pin worked loose. It then jammed on the inside of the receiver.
The empty case removed showed no signs of excessive pressure. Having said that, I'm going to reduce the powder charge a little, or maybe find a suitable powder that burns slower than H110. Dropping the 300 Gr bullet to a little under 2250 F/S won't really bother me much.
