I think you are right. But......IMHO, one reason the .454 never really caught on is because of how brutal it is to shoot outta most of the available platforms. While many want to put down the size and heft of the X-Frame platform, it is was makes the X-Frame actually pleasant to shoot with most loads. The accuracy of my P.C. X-Frame amazes me every time I shoot it, and how well folks new to shooting it do, also is impressive.

I agree with you. I have shot 44 magnums less pleasant to shoot than the X-frame 460 and the 454 is markedly more powerful than a 44 mag. Our 460 is production run 8 3/8" model and it shot a 5-shot group at 100 yards around 1.75" when we were testing loads with a scope on it. We made a scope adjustment and it then shot the next group around 1 5/8". The X-frame 460s are accurate and don't beat you up shooting them.
