[QUOTE="Tennessee Tater, post: 1096469, member: 54647"] I second dgr's response. I had a 454 Redhawk also. Max loads of win296 & 325 hard cast was all I wanted in a handgun. I also own a 450 in a guide gun, and haven't been able to consider recoil "moderate" either. I will say that I never pursued reduced recoil with it. It is an absolute hammer on living tissue, and I would not be afraid to shoot anything with fur on it...........except elephant.:) the only source of brass that I know of is Hornady. I don't know of any work around for the larger belt. In hindsight, I would have been better off with a 458x2. But when I bought the guide gun, I couldn't afford a build of any kind. That being said, the 450 has served me well, and it's earned it's spot in the safe, but to do over I would look for something else. In closing, I'd have to say recoil is not for the sensitive, you will know when the hammer falls. [/QUOTE]
