Using 325-335 gr hard cast in my .454. Again, just looking for a load that won't shake me, and the gun loose. I know the .454 can be pretty brutal with the "full power" loads.
I see a lot of manufacturers don't load the caliber to it's full potential due to the heavy recoil and increased pressures. When I got it I took it out and shot a box of the Hornady XTP 240 gr. at 1900 FPS. It was fun but nothing I would't shoot again, haven't tried the 300 gr. XTP or the 335 gr hard cast yet and I have several boxes of each just begging to be shot.
