VTbowman Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 I picked up an unbraked 12" Encore 454 Casull bbl in a trade and was planning to give it a test drive my next day off. Never shot a big bore before. Well other then my 209x50 ML 15" pistol and it did wack with two 50g pyrodex pellets behind a 250g sabot. Also that 300 Win Mag but it had a break on it and it was not bad at all. Just dont know what to expect out of it. Range report to come soon....

LifeNRA Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Re: Any 454 Casull shooter out there? My father has one. Its no big deal! I was expecting more recoil than what it had! But the ammo isnt cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newarcher Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: Any 454 Casull shooter out there? Great, you can do a range report AND a hospital report at the same time! You can handle it....but if you are going to go, go big and fire it one handed the first time. Nice gun New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lilcrackshot Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Re: Any 454 Casull shooter out there? People say that it is worse than it really is. It kicks for sure but it isn't too bad. Yeah, ammo is preety expensive but when there is that much powder and lead what do you expect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Re: Any 454 Casull shooter out there? I shot it yesterday and was surprized it was not as much recoil as I had thought it would be. Would be nice to have a muzzle brake or ported but its still not to bad to shoot. With a lesser load it would be even better. The guy sent fully loaded max load data shell to me to test out. I am not sure of the grains or specs but he said it was the max this caliber and bbl could take safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Re: Any 454 Casull shooter out there? For hunting purposes I would use the the big stuff. But my father also had the smaller ammo that it can shoot as well. The price of that ammo was a lot cheaper, not like the full power ammo! I would like to shoot the S & W 500 cal next though!

VTbowman Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Re: Any 454 Casull shooter out there? Moot point now. I am selling it. Its already spoken for kinda. The guy has not gotten back to me since he said he would take it and asked for mailing info for payment. Its quite a caliber though, I just dont need it or would shoot it much.
