Default RE: Who has shot a .454 Casull?...your opinions of it.

ORIGINAL: James B

I think your 3200 will hold up. There is not a tougher handgun scope made.
I hope so. Lot of my friends have 3200's on their encore pistols with 308 and 7mm-08 loads. I plan on building a 300gr XTP load and try to find a good >300gr cast load. And shoot those on occassions, but mostly would like to find a good 250gr light cast load for practice. I found some data for some Cast Performance with Titegroup, I imagine soon, somebody might publish some unique loads as I got like 5lbs of it. If not I can practice alot with 45 colt loads.

Kinda worried to be shooting alot of 45colt loads, as I have seen my gunsmith twice reaming out cylinders of 454 casulls from people who only shot 45 colts and not able to get out the residue and then couldn't put 454 loads in.
