Its a blast. The 454 flattened out the can where the 460 blew it to pieces. When i get time i am going to do something similar and start with a 25 acp and go up to the 460.

Not everyday you get a videographic anecdote of a round making a .44mag look like a pop gun, but the .454Casull sure does it!
No wait....

Definitely paints the picture of what that energy gap means - considering that the .44mag is generally considered to be the maximum potentially manageable round for most shooters.
