Yankee Doodle,

Thanks for the reply. That pretty much answered my question perfectly. I was basically just wondering if there is anything in North America that you would feel underarmed against with the 454 casull, and it seems like a solid NO. I already own a SuperRedhawk in .44mag. Is the 454 Casull a large enough step up in power and hunting capabilities to buy a new revolver? I found some hot 44mag Buffalo Bore loads that put out about 1500 ft/lbs of energy, but I figured that the 454 could produce a lot more than that with a similar load. Unless I hear otherwise I guess I will just plan on getting the 454 when the time comes. Oh, and is it accurate that you can shoot 45 LC in a 454 as well? Thanks.
