In the 1960s, I read about Dick Casull developing the 454 Casull, using Colt SA pistols and a triplex load. I was always intrigued by that cartridge.'

Some 20 years ago (+/-), I bought a Ruger Super Redhawk in 454 Casull. The gun is accurate and has never let me down. It is a great hunting pistol/cartridge combination. It can be loaded very mildly or as a flaming devil - well, no real flames but a very powerful load.

I reload for that gun. The only problem I have ever had was using small rifle primers and 30 gr of H110 pushing a 300 gr HC SWC bullet. The primer didn't ignite the H-110, just pushing the bullet and unburnt powder down the barrel. I then read others had the same problem and switched to mag primers. However, that isn't a Casull problem, just a problem with H-110.
