Default 454 Raging bull review w/ pics FINALLY

well i finally took her out to see what she could do.
the range i went to is an indoor range.
max distance is i believe is 50 feet.
i was shooting the Magtech 260 gr round first.
gun performed flawlessly.
kick was noticable but not near the climb that a 500 S&W delivers, which meant quicker follow ups and control for me.

Glad you like it. How was your accuracy? The porting on the Raging Bull helps quite a bit. How about posting some eye candy in the form of pics? The .454 Casull is 1 of my all time favorite revolver cartridges, along with the .41 magnum.

wow
i didn't even finish the write up
turned my computer off and didn't think it would have saved it let alone post it
the Magtechs were good BUT they had a tendency to stick in the cylinder when attempting to eject
this didn't happen till i had about 10 rounds through her but it was a slight problem
accuracy of the roud was good
i don't have a scope so the groups were a little wide at 50 feet but still in a pie plate

next i shot weatherby 300 gr XTP Mag loads
even after the 20 of the Magtechs the weatherbys fell out pratically when ejecting
at $21 a box they are great ammo and probably what i will go with when hunting deer and possibly elk

my hand was a little oar after 25 straight rounds
took al but 10 minutes
but this mourning my hand is fine

I think for what it is priced the Taurus Raging Bull is a fine hunting revolver

Jimmy those stick cases may be oil in the cylinder. I've found that if you just clean the cylinders and avoid oiling them you get less cases sticking.
