    A new hunting handgun



    Put this on layaway at the gun shop.
    I'll be a nice to you as you'll let me be, or as mean as you make me be.

    LOL Sorry. It's a 10" magnaported Premier grade in .454 casull. Scope is a 2x-6x burris.
    If it shoots as good as it looks, it's going to become my primary hunting gun.

    Nice looking........like you said if it shoots well you'll have a keeper. I would imagine it to shoot cast nicely, what are your ideas for feeding that thing?

    Hoping it likes 454424's and 320 grain hammer boolits loaded over 2400. I'm going for accuracy, rather than wrist snapping power.

    Good thinking. No need for blowing the roof from the range.

    I really like the LBT 300 grgc lfn @ 1450 fps With 28 grs of 296 will do 1 inch at 50 yards if you do your part. and you can shoot actually more than 50 rounds at a time with accuracy ! for me its still in the comfortable range but that extra 200 fps really makes a difference in recoil

    Talk to RobS if you want a smoking good 300gr I'm not positive but I believe his will fit the that big ol FA Nice rig by the way I would imagine that will be the ticket for those long Wyo shots

    Accuracy is the goal intended when working up loads on my end too. I ran the 454424 for quite a while but then went to heavier designs. My 454 Casull is a tack driver with a particular 310 grainer I shoot. It also does very well with a 340 grain LFN style bullet I designed. I'm working on the 340 with 2400 powder yet and think 21.5 to 22 grains will be what I'm looking at for accuracy in regards to the boolit/powder combo. Any more velocity than that I look toward a slower powder with the 300+ club in the Casull.

    Just a new reg. The gun shop requires proof of residency. You have to show them a drivers license or vehicle registration with your current address.

    Thumbs up

    Gun's no good--there's a hole in the barrel...

    man, that's pretty. The most accurate revolver I ever fired was an FA 454. It wanted to put every bullet in the same hole. Hope yours shoots as well.
