The .454 Casull: History and Performance

[Annihilator]

Good read on the history and performance of the .454 Casull, I have had several revolvers chambered in this, but what's nice is you can also shoot .45 Colt if you don't want to use the big boys.

I've been looking for a Super Redhawk in .454 for a while. Not the shortie Toklat, but a 7.5".

Last .454 I had was a Ruger Alaskan, big fun.

Those Freedom Arms pistols are built like fine clockwork. I wouldn't mind if I e fell into my lap

I have the Ruger Super Redhawk in 454 Casull. When I bought and shot this beast, ammo was about $1.25 a round (I'm guessing when I bought the ammo (from Buffalo Bore), it was about 4-5 years ago). Now at $3.75 per round , I'm wondering what my S&W 500 Magnum ammo is going to cost. Before pandemic ammo price increases, the most expensive (budget) ammo I bought, was $3.85 per round for my RPR 338 Laupa rifle (I wonder what the price goes for now (I'm too afraid to look )).

Get ready for $4.50 at minimum for .338 Lap Mag. That's the cheapest I've seen. At least it was Nosler and not some off brand.

Thanks Benstt. Not quite as big a jump as 454 casull ammo it would seem, but almost a dollar more. Well, if you want to shoot these powerful and less common calibers, be prepared to pay more for their respective ammo, (or start reloading yourself).
