Ruger 454 Casull

[Atroxus]

Dunno about the .454 casull, but the first handgun I ever got to fire was a super redhawk in .44 magnum. I was 8 at the time, and fell in love even though the first time I fired it almost came out of my hands. Is still on my list of expensive dream guns that I want to own some day. When I do finally get one I may end up going 454 instead of 44 though. :

.454 ammo (factory) comes in such a variety that it really is difficult to get a general feel for recoil just off the factory ammo.  With 9mm, 45acp, .223 and some others; it doesn't seem that there is much difference between brands/loads when comparing recoil. (at least I can't tell the difference)  With .454 there was.  I first shot some winchester ammo and was like--'that's it?'.  Not bad at all.  Then shot some Hornady stuff (240 gr) and could feel a difference--still comfortable to shoot, but had serious increase in felt recoil.  Later I got some odd ball brand (300 gr) and I really can't shoot more than one cylinder with out a glove of some sort.  Fingers would get bruised from it.  Now I reload, so it is possible to make a round that doesn't quite redline.

Today i decided to go to sportsmans warehouse to look at some 22 pistols. For awhile now i've been wanting to get something fun and cheap to shoot. Well I took my wife with me so she could have some fun and guess what? YUP!! she ended up finding a pistol that she liked and i bought it for her. We got the Ruger " New model single six". this is a really neat single action revolver.

[scottfrick]

I picked up the first Ruger Super Redhawk that hit town years ago in .454 Casull. It's a real power house, has way more recoil than full house hand loads through my 500 S&W. With the weight of the 500 and the ported barrel the 500 Smith is a easy shooting handgun, single handed shooting is a breeze with the 500. The Ruger .454 will flat jam you up! I'm going to get a Ruger Alaskan .454 for my next revolver. Going to go the used route so I don't get hit so hard, just waiting for the right deal, I passed one up at a local pawn shop for 575.00 and kick myself for not getting it.

I have the super red in .44. cant complain.. it does seem to prefer the heavier bullets.

When I first started looking at getting a revolver i knew exactly what I wanted. Ruger Blackhawk in 45 colt. Hand loads i have loaded for it are pretty hot and it handles them with ease. 300 grain XTP at 1300 fps in a 7.5 inch barrel. Packs a hell of a thud for "the old 45"

I have the 44 casull in the Ruger ALaskan.  Love the gun, great for carrying as a sidearm in grizzly country, probably not truly needed around Washington so much, but I did pack it in the Selkirks while I had my moose permit in 2009.  Always pack it when hunting archery back home in Montana.
