Over the weekend I was shooting my 454 and could not find a shot that should have been a great hit on the target. Come back and find that the powder in it's entirity is in the chamber and barrell, and the bullet is 3/4" up in the barrell. This was a factory load as well. What in the world...

I posed this question on another board, I'll ask it again here to see if anyone can help: Ok, I'm still figuring out this whole reloading thing and have yet to shoot my cartridges. I noticed last night my cartridges had the bullet seated ever so slightly lower than the factory round I was...

Well I loaded my first 25 shells over the weekend. I FINALLY figured out the ins and outs with much pain, but now have something to show for it. The 454 was getting SOOOO expensive to shoot, and now I have a platform to feed it with and I'm very excited. I'm sure not far down the road I'll be...

I'm looking at getting a 454 carbine to pair with my Super Redhawk, and also for the simplicity of only reloading one round. If you're getting 1900fps out of a 7.5" barrell, what kind of increase could you safely expect to see in a 20" barrell? 240 to 300 maybe?

Ok, I've read the "read this first" stickies, and got a question. I bought the Hornady Reloading Manual to start, and it was pretty much a waste of $45.00. It gave no step by step instructions, which I assumed is what a manual did. Unfortnately, I ordered it so it is lost money. Before I...

Ok, I'm having issues with my 454 SRH's scope again. It slides forward under typical usage and dispite my attempts to better secure it (with double sided tape on the scope/mount for one) it still moves forward on me. Should I just bite the bullet and shove it as far forward as it will go in...

What happened to cause Colt to drop double action's off there line? What was the motivation to now only do single action revolvers in cowboy action cartridges? Were sales of these guns that bad? Colt has a long tradition of making great double action guns, I was surprised when I visited there...

I found 150 rounds of 32 Auto ammo I forgot I had the other day. I have a 32 Smith and Wesson revolver that chambers it fine and extracts as well with no difficulties. Any reason you couldn't shoot a 32 auto shell out of a 32 caliber revolver?

I want to take my scoped Super Redhawk out hunting in the next several months and will likely start with wild boar. I'm wondering up to what size of game would you feel comfortable in taking with a 454? Right now I'm planning on using 240gr hornady's at 1,900fps for the hogs, but was curious...

How comfortable/confident would you all be with a heavy grain hard cast bullet in .454 for bear hunting or bear defense?
