[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 2047438, member: 31749"] Yeah, I had some relatively "mild" (if a 240gr XTP @1500fps can be considered mild) 454 Casull handloads lock up the cylinder on my Ruger Bisley after only 3 shots (cylinder holds 5). Was using new brass that hadnt been sized and had been originally belled for my 360gr hard cast bullets so this was partially my fault even though I had properly crimped them, but just goes to show that you dont even need to be on the redline to cause problems (1500fps is only about 75% for a Casull with that bullet for those wondering). As far as the original topic, I run HSM "Bear Load" factory 335gr Hard Cast in my 454 Ruger Alaskan. It wakes you up but is very manageable even in that gun. I can keep double taps inside of a 12" circle with that load at 25yds. My 360gr Hard Cast handloads that I hunt with are un-shootable in the Alaskan. I carry the Alaskan everywhere when I am outdoors, the grip sometimes gets in the way if I am in and out of the truck a lot, but the weight has never been an issue on the hip. When the great panic of 2020 subsides (maybe in 2025) I will try and get a 10mm Glock to play around with. [/QUOTE]
