coupled with a good cast bullet. I studied your stories before I shot that little Bison in TN. You recounted shooting clean through with a like set-up. I found the 410 gr. too heavy in recoil for my #6 .510 at 1300-1400 fps, I was flinching bad. So I lowered it to about 1100 fps and could tolerate it much better.

In the field I watched John Ramsey Miller twice shoot clean through a Bison with a .410 GNR and 240 gr. cast bullets. The rounds kicked up water and mud some 50 yds. on the off side. We thought he had missed. We chased the leaking beast and it took two more. One round from my .510 GNR put my critter on his nose for good. I did give him a finisher.

So I had a Taurus .454 and it was a good gun, just not special. With your arranging me to meet Bob Baker at the Y-O and all, the FA guns, will forever be special. I just needed that Reeder touch to make it heirloom quality, a .454 keeper. A customized FA83 Premier will do just fine.
