Taurus 454 Casull
I have been looking at the Raging Bull 454 Casuall. Just wondering if anyone has one or could give me a few suggestions. I have been looking at the 6.5inch and 8.3inch barrels leaning toward the 6.5 for ease of holstering and carrying. I shoot 45 colt so that would make for cheaper plinking loads in it.

I have the 450, the 45 Colt conceal carry revolver and love it!
I know joec bought one but I don't think he has been on the forum for awhile. Check the Similar Topics below.

That 45 looks fun. They make a 454 Raging Bull with 2.5inch barrel. Bet they throw flames at night

Re: Taurus 454 Casull
Greetings
Have a Titanium CC in 44 Special. These are very light and comfortable CC revolvers. 240 grainers at 950 fps is a handfull to handle.
I cannot imagine shooting a full power 454 in a 2.5 inch revolver. I have a 454 BFR and that critter wants to go flying with a 275 grain bullet and a case full of 296. Also have a 41 mag SS 2.5 inch Taurus. That little beast with a 265 grain and case full of 296 will never get shot that way again by me. One round was enough. My hand tingled for some time even with a leather shooting glove.

Re: Taurus 454 Casull
Mike,
I've got a buddy who says the same thing about shooting a few rounds of Winchester 270 grain .44 Magnum.
My first .44 Mag loads were a bit stiff and I didn't notice as I was shooting them out of a Winchester 94.
When I ended up with the revolvers and started shooting the same ammo out of them I decided I might need to revisit the load data and drop it a grain or two.

Re: Taurus 454 Casull
I just got this today. Hope it warms up a little so I can try it out. I loaded up 20 rounds to test it out. 5 each of different powders and bullets with near min. charges. I need to do more research on loads and powders before testing heavyer loads. I have some 296 and imr4227 that should work. Need to find some magnum pistol powder but hard to do around here.

Re: Taurus 454 Casull
The only downside to the Taurus large revolvers is they pretty much take two hands to open the cylinder.
