[QUOTE="Kroberts, post: 1193420, member: 71507"] I just saw that ruger is now chamfering there Blackhawk with a 5 shot 454 casull and 480 ruger cylinders. I currently have a Blackhawk in 45 colt that I love to shoot full bore with 250s at 1450fps. Since I saw the new chamberjng I have an ich for the 454. My question is, is it worth the upgrade in power to the 454 over the colt. Which I would trade in the current Blackhawk for the change. At the time being, all that gets hunted with the revolver are squirrels and deer. And still have yet to take a shot at a deer. If I go the 454 it will more than likely get scoped to hopefully make use of the rxtra velocity and flatter trajectory. So is it worth the extra performance potential and recoil of the 454 even though the colt will take care of any rampaging squirrel with authority. And will mostly be loaded and fired at upper end colt power anyway. All opinions and tips welcome. Kyle [/QUOTE]
