[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1209464, member: 4191"] My brother owns, has owned, and has chrono'd multiple .454 Casulls over the years. Owns/operateds a gun shop. He has a penchant for .454s. He's shown me the recorded MVs from several Freedom Arms, and a variety of other brands of revolvers. The MVs he's recorded are sometimes surprisingly dumbfounding... I shoot the same bullet as you out of a 2.5" Ruger Alaskan, so I was wondering how much MV I'm losing with a barrel 1/2 the length of yours. My 1,200fps load with 2400 is maxed out in my Ruger Alaskan. There is no load data for the .454 using 2400 powder, so I loaded until case extraction began to get sticky and backed off a bit from there. [/QUOTE]
