454 Casull hardcast bullet recommendations?

[marlinman]

Anyone with experience loading hardcast bullets in your 454 Casull? Mine is a Ruger SRH 7.5''. Would like to load something in the 330 - 360 grain range for it.

If you can get them in Canada these are the ones to get, Cabela's carriers them.

Well if I can run a 300 gr GC bullet in 45 LC, you can run aloth heavier.

MT Chambers is experimenting(testing) a new 285gr. Wide Flat Pt. bullet, results will be soon avail., should be good in the .45/.454

I have used Jae-Bok Young, Cast Performance and Beartooth cast bullets.

I load from 325gr to 405gr hard cast gas checked bullets in my 4.25" & 7.5" Ruger SRH 454 Casull's.

I get with 360gr C/P WLNGC's 1520fps and 395gr C/P WLNGC's @ 1420fps in my 7.5" barreled SRH.

PM me and I'll give you some reload data to start with...

Wow you're a greater man than I Cam, those are some stiff loads

These aren't hard cast but another great bullet is the Frontier GameRanger 390 grain bullet. It was designed for large African game by two .454 Casull handgun hunters, it is hardened lead core with copper plating and gives impressive test results....it is a TOUGH bullet.
It will run a bit slower because of the copper but has been excellent for me so far. I haven't worked it up to the hottest loads yet and only launch mine at about 1250 fps from my SRH, not like Cam's missiles
