[QUOTE="Rugerdiggs, post: 801173, member: 35832"] Got a Ruger Alaskan in 454 casull that should be here at the end of the week or first of next week. It has the short 2.5" barrel and looking to get some advise on loads for it. Here is what i currently have and have on its way as far as supplies. 120+: pieces of new starline brass primed with small rifle magnum primers 100: pieces of new NAA brass 200: 345gr hard cast lubed bullets, bhn suppose to be 20+ 100: 325gr swift A-frames 1lb of lilgun 1lb of h110 3 piece set of rcbs carbide 454 casull dies Also have some 45lc brass coming This is all together a new cartridge for me, have read a good bit on it and some say if the the bhn is above 18 no gas checks needed and some dont even lube them, i am pretty new on shooting lead cast out of magnums, any advice on this would help. Also not sure on the primers, is small rifle magnum good or will small rifle be better or will it be determined by which powder? I have both powders above on hand but if need to get different one will try to find some. My goal for this pistol is to shoot hogs or deer around here but main goal other than having a hand cannon is to have a good handgun for future elk hunt to have in bear country. If the A frames shoot well that will be the bullet for bear and cougars from what i have read but have no experience with them. Any and all help and advice will be thanked [/QUOTE]
