Skinner, Stan Cartridges of the World 12th Edition: A Complete and Illustrated Reference for Over 1500 Cartridges Krause Publications October 20, 2009 568 978-0-89689-936-0 It was announced in November 1959 by Guns & Ammo magazine. The design is a lengthened and structurally improved .45 Colt case. The wildcat cartridge went mainstream when Freedom Arms brought a single action five-shot revolver chambered in .454 Casull to the retail firearms market in 1983. Ruger followed in 1997, chambering its Super Redhawk in this caliber. Taurus followed with the Raging Bull model in 1998 and the Taurus Raging Judge Magnum in 2010. The .45 Schofield and .45 Colt cartridges can fit into the .454's chambers, but not the other way around because of the lengthened case (very similar to the relationship between .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges, as well as the .44 Special and .44 Magnum cartridges). Specifications The .454 Casull was finally commercialized in 1997, when SAAMI published its first standards for the cartridge.http://www.chuckhawks.com/454casull.htm .454 Casull Chuck Hawks 2007-11-14http://www.reloadbench.com/cartridges/p454c.html .454 Casull 2007-11-14 https://web.archive.org/web/20071106034845/http://www.reloadbench.com/cartridges/p454c.html 2007-11-06 dead https://www.shootingtimes.com/editorial/the-fascinating-454-casull/99489 The Fascinating .454 Casull 28 March 2018 The new Casull round uses a small rifle primer rather than a pistol primer, because it develops extremely high chamber pressures of over 50,000 CUP (copper units of pressure) (410 MPa), which are rifle levels of pressure. It requires the use of a rifle primer to withstand those significantly greater pressures, blurring the distinction of it being a pistol or a rifle cartridge.50 Handbook of Handguns Jeffrey Strickland 2013 9781300973294 The round is one of the most powerful handgun cartridges in production. The .454 Casull generates almost five times the recoil of the .45 Colt, and about 75% more recoil energy than the .44 Magnum. It can deliver a 250 grain (16 g) bullet with a muzzle velocity of over 1,900 feet per second (580 m/s), developing up to 2,000 ft-lb (2.7 kJ) of energy from a handgun. One Buffalo Bore loading drives a heavier, 300 grain, JFN bullet at 1,650 ft/s for 1,813 ft-lb of muzzle energy.Buffalo Bore Ammo - .454 Casull Pistol & Handgun Ammo The .454 Casull round is primarily intended for hunting medium or large game, metallic silhouette shooting, and bear protection.11, 125 Handgun Hunting: How to Travel the World in Pursuit of Wild Game!

Sadowski Skyhorse 2015 978-1634504454 The Casull cartridges were originally loaded with a triplex load of propellants, which gave progressive burning, aided by the rifle primer ignition, resulting in a progressive acceleration of the bullet as it passed through the barrel.

The .460 Smith & Wesson Magnum cartridge introduced in 2005 is a lengthened .454 Casull cartridge and has the same diameter as a .45 Colt or .454 Casull. Therefore, revolvers chambered for .460 S&W will also chamber .454 Casull, .45 Colt, and .45 Schofield (.45 Smith & Wesson).Shooter's Bible, 111th Edition 2019 Jay Cassell 9781510748149 Skyhorse Publishing See also .44 AMP .500 S&W Magnum 11 mm caliber List of cartridges by caliber List of handgun cartridges Table of handgun and rifle cartridges References Category:.454 Casull firearms Category:Magnum pistol cartridges Category:Pistol and rifle cartridges Category:Rimmed cartridges
