.454 Casull Load For Large Animal Defense....
If the bullet pictured below were at 362 grains, 18-21 bhn, and had a muzzle velocity of a little over 1,600 FPS from a 20" barrel rifle.....
Would it be an acceptable defensive round in northwest mountain areas where large, startled, peeved animals could possibly be encountered?

That's a middling .45-70 load @ 1600, so it will be a thumper. Just get a Kwikeze pad installed.

That'd be an awesome critter boolit. Water drop them when you cast and it will increase hardness to ~ 24 bhn.
