especially Corbon, Buffalo Bore, the original Freedom Arms ammo and such. Hotter than the hinges of hell. Yes, you can load it down to warm 45 Long Colt loads, which will take just about anything we will hunt here in the lower 48. But my comments weren't about those loads. They were about the HOT factory loads. I have probably shot 3000 rounds of factory hot 454 ammo, maybe more, test firing our 454 custom guns, and I learned real quick that it wasn't my cup of tea.I don't mind recoil, like 475 Linebaugh, 500 Linebaugh, my 500 GNR or 510 GNR and they are more of a push than a fast slam. But the 454 factory ammo is a bird of a different color and i have had as much fun as I can stand. From now on Nate or Robert get to shoot the 454s.
