Gun Descriptions

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. 454 Casull Specification: Cartridge case: .45 Colt Case type: Rimmed straight Bullet diameter: 11.5 mm (.452 in) Neck diameter: 12.2 mm (480 in) Base diameter: 12.2 mm (.480 in) Rim diameter: 13.0 mm (.512 in) Rim thickness: 1.4 mm (.057 in) Case length: 35.1 mm (1.383 in) Overall length: 45 mm (1.77 in) Case capacity: 2.95 cm3 Primer type: Boxer Small rifle Maximum pressure (SAAMI): 65,000 psi (450 MPa) 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 .480 Ruger Ammo is a high-power, large cartridge for revolvers that was introduced into the markets in 2003. At the time of its introduction, the .480 Ruger Ammo was the largest-diameter revolver cartridge produced. The parent case used to design the .480 Ruger Ammo was the .475 Linebaugh Ammo. Instead of using the Blackhawk, the double-action Super Redhawk was chosen to chamber the new cartridge. The .480 Ruger Ammo was lighter and shorter than its parent case. The lower velocities and pressures produced by the .480 Ruger Ammo mean this cartridge delivers a less felt recoil and muzzle blast than the super magnum Ammo. Overall, the .480 Ruger Ammo is a well-balanced cartridge that provides a lot of energy without strong recoil. The overall length of the .480 Ruger Ammo is 41.9mm, and the bullet diameter measures 12.1mm. The 325-grain bullet variant of the .480 Ruger Ammo can travel at a velocity of 1,350 feet per second while creating an energy level of 1,315 ft.lbf. Manufacturer The .480 Ruger Ammo was designed by Hornady / Sturm, Ruger in the year 2003 in the United States. Uses The people who have used the .480 Ruger Ammo have claimed that this cartridge rivals the performance of the .475 Linebaugh while delivering less recoil, noise, and muzzle blast. This cartridge has been used for hunting deer families, but it can potentially take down any medium to large-sized game.
