454 casull in rifle

[Grim300Win]

I had a LSI/Rossi chambered in 454Casull. It was all stainless with a 16" bbl.
Couple things - - -> The 454Casull is a high pressure cartridge. Especially in it's small primer configuration. IIRC . . . 65K psi. The 92 action is much stronger than a 94 action. An EXTREMELY low charge of H110 is dangerous. ( Obviously a large charge is also.) Those 240gr Mags are a good bullet and will hold together at "highway" speeds.
Outta my gun I shot CBP 265gr WFNGC's at close to 2000fps. They were devastating on both hogs and the bambi sized deer down here. I also shot the CBP 335's and 360's. I believe both were WFNGC also. Possibly WLNGC. Anyway all shot extremely good. All were hardcast also. I would not hesitate to use the 360's on Alaskan moose,black bear,and under the right circumstances possibly brown and grizz.
My "theory" was. If you want to load a 454Casull down,buy a 45LC. I shot only max doses of H110 outta my gun.
But . . . when you start approaching 60K psi the little Rossi's stomp the proverbial shit outta ya. --- SAWMAN

I’m all about getting as much as I can as long as I can keep accuracy lol

One respectful recommendation that I would offer is to ONLY use 454 brass . . . never 45LC.
You really do not want to screw up an load a 45LC brass to 60K psi.
I did,and came awful close to shooting it as a light,practice load. I quickly gave away my 45LC brass and simply loaded down (with TRAIL BOSS ) 454Casull brass. ---- SAWMAN

I do have a ton of LC brass but as of now it’s all stored away. I don’t currently own a LC. I’m pretty meticulous about my reloading habits. But you do bring up a very valid point. That would be fairly easy to do...

My cousin had a freedom arms 454 pistol. I want a rifle. His pistol loved a 325gr cast bullet. That thing would knock a deer down like it got hit by a truck.
