Had one in 454. Very snappy recoil. Was using 300-325 grn. loads from corbon.
Accuracy was terrible for me, although it was probably a combination of short sight radius, and massive flinching on my part.
I might have kept it if I was reloading at the time, but I wasn't. Whichever of the 3 cartridges uses the fastest burning powder would probably be the most appropriate choice for the short barrel.
45 colts were very pleasant to shoot out of the alaskan, but caused some dirty chambers that would require cleaning before shooting more 454 (normally high pressure loads would cause the case to stick, but it would still come out; but if it was dirty before firing the high pressure loads, then it be so bad it required a plastic mallet or pliers)
