I think that one of those would be pretty hard to beat.

My buddy is a fishing guide in AK. Varies the Tolkat 454 Casul. That thing is fun to shoot (sorta). We were loading rounds intermittent with 45 long colt and shooting. On our first trip to the range we were both hitting bullseye at 25 yards before long and were pretty impressed with it.

It is a beast though.

It is a beast though. The frame looks a lot more reasonable compared to a smith and wesson 460 or 500?

He had a SS Ruger Super Red Hawk in .454. HECK YEA I have had it ever since. I have taken a few deer, rabbit, and grouse. Head shots on the small game. Scoped it with a 2 power. I load bear rounds and love it. Havn't shot it in a while but reading the form makes me want the shoot it.

Post by: Bango skank on March 24, 2016, 11:49:13 PM: Dont be a sissy. Get a .460. You can shoot .454 out of it if you want. Or .45lc for that matter
