Developed by Dick Casull, Duane Marsh, and Jack Fullmer in 1958, 454 Casull Ammo is a powerful wildcat firearm cartridge. The design of this ammo is based on the .45 Colt case, so both .45 Schofield and .45 Colt cartridges can fit well in 454 Casull’s chamber. Because of the high chamber pressure of over 60,000 CUP, this cartridge uses a small rifle primer instead of pistol primer. 454 Casull Ammo comes in a .45 colt case that is about 0.10 inches in length. Bullet weight is around 240 to 300 grains and delivers a muzzle velocity of 1900 feet per second. These rounds can be loaded to a maximum of 65,000 psi pressure and the pressure when fired will be over 60,000 CUP.

The 454 Casull is a hard-hitting handgun cartridge perfect for hunting dangerous animals. It is produced by several manufacturers and is available in different types including full metal jacket (FMJ), hollow point, jacketed hollow point (JHP), soft point, and semi-jacketed hollow point (SJSP). The 454 Casull is powerful and is loaded with a lot of powder to make the bullet travel at a supersonic speed. Recoil is stronger than similar ammos.
About
The .445 SuperMag Ammo is a longer and more powerful version of magnum cartridge that is essentially a cartridge for handguns, but by extending the casing, they can be used in rifles as well. The Super Magnum Ammo cartridges are the most widespread family of the super magnum handgun cartridges that were tested and proposed by Elgin Gates in the 1970s. Due to the pressures involved and the overall length of the .445 SuperMag Ammo, the guns that this bullet was used in were of somewhat large sizes and weights. With bullet variants weighing up to the 300-grain load, the .445 SuperMag Ammo proved to be very powerful, highly accurate, and a fine-performing cartridge. However, a heavy price needed to be paid for its use in the form of an unpleasant muzzle blast and recoil. The barrel compensator introduced by Wesson firearms allowed the shooters to tame the .445 SuperMag ammo recoil.
Manufacturer
The .445 SuperMag Ammo was designed and introduced in the years of 1980.
Uses
For people who can handle the blast and recoil of the .445 SuperMag Ammo, it would be the perfect choice for metallic target shooting and hunting down a large, dangerous game.
