Else’s .454’s. He said “we learned some things” that were important design characteristics. He was not specific but serious, the .454 really is a tiger by the tail! I had a Taurus that shot great myself. I’m not fond of top end 300 gr.+ loads. I’d need to be really mad at something. I think recoil is worse than the .475 LB.

I would like a clean shooting “painted” cast bullet moderate load to get more barrel time. I have a 7-1/2” and just got a 6” M83 in .454. I do think I’m going to stick with .454 cases just so I don’t have to fret with the chamber cleaning so much. But I’m not afraid to shoot a .45 Colt through it. I have several .45 Colts anyway.
