Testing the 454 Casull

[@nicke3276]

Love the rossi 92's. I just can't see the iron sights. So I mount a red dot. Rucker machine makes mounts for different red dot patterns. Keeps the dot nice and low! I would love to get the 454 next 👍

[@cervus-venator]

Cool, I need to look at getting an optic for this one myself. I sure enjoy this big 454 Casull rifle.

[@KenBlackRifleAmerica]

Quite the difference in that .454 and the .45 Long Colt....haha I wouldn't mind deer hunting with that .454, especially in some of the thicker pine woods....take care brother!!

[@cervus-venator]

Thanks Ken! Yeah my thought too. A great short distance brush gun. It sure has the punch to knock one down.

[@rkf2746]

Enjoyed the video. Just curious. The ejecting of the spent shell seems stiff. Are you concerned about that? Thanks!!!!

[@cervus-venator]

It is a little frustrating, but I think it is because of being a new rifle. This may have been like the 10th - 15th rounds I've shot out of it. If I recall my R92 in 357 was like that at first and just needed a few rounds through it to smooth out. We'll see how it goes with this one. One thing I did notice was that the 45 LC with their flat nose did not seem to want to chamber well. You'll notice that I had to restart on each one as it was getting hung on the chamber edge. The 454 Casull rounds seemed to chamber smoothly.

[@rkf2746]

@@cervus-venator Thanks for the response. I did notice your restart with the .45 Colt. New rifle. I bet it loosens up and polishes pretty good after a bit of shooting. Nice rifle!! Enjoy it.

[@texmexshoots]

Good to see the 454 again. It is such a BEAUTIFUL rifle!

[@cervus-venator]

Thanks! I agree. That stainless with the wood just looks good.

[@echogary]

"Well, I knocked my plate down " About sums it up!

[@cervus-venator]

Thanks! That gave me a good laugh. 😆

[@richarddixon7276]

Hi Cervus , sorry I've not been around for a while ( been ill but all good now & playing catch up . ) boy that .454 sure kicks hard , nice shooting by the way . Need to go find Halfmile now & catch up there . Catch You next time , Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well .

[@cervus-venator]

Thanks Richard. Yeah, I am getting over a sickness I've had for about two weeks. What a pain it was. I'm glad to hear you are better now and I'm looking forward to see you some more.

[@chrislang5659]

Don't guess I've seen the stainless model before. Keep an eye on your action screws, I've had a couple try to back out on me. God forbid you have to send it back in. I was without mine for a year + Can't believe it knocked that plate off the hook! That 454 he's some punch!😮❤❤❤

[@cervus-venator]

Will do and thanks. Yeah I certainly do not want to have to send it in for repairs. LOL, the 454 Casull packs a whallop.

Very Nice ! Be a good piggy picker too. Happy Thanksgiving to you and family !

[@cervus-venator]

Thanks Charles! Yes, this would be a great pig picker.

[@shaunsian4784]

They have a scope mount for this rifle and all of the Rossi R92 rifles Pearson Tactical and Skinner sights both make a scope rail

[@cervus-venator]

Shaun, not sure why my reply isn't showing. Anyway thanks for the info as I certainly am thinking about getting a rail for this one.

[@shaunsian4784]

@@cervus-venator Glad to help

[@bfox87]

Very nice, i have the 357 stainless r92 i thought about hunting with it too. Ive got a x2 burris scope on it

[@cervus-venator]

Awesome! My next video is of me shooting my R92 in 357 Mag. It was the same day. That one is spot on.

[@Halfmilesniper]

Wow, those Casulls are real thumpers from a rifle. I've only ever fired 5 rounds of .454...from a 2.5 inch Ruger Alaskan, lol.

[@rkf2746]

"454...from a 2.5 inch Ruger Alaskan," Holy cow, are your wrist now in a cast? 🤠 That had to kick like a mule!!!!

[@Halfmilesniper]

@@rkf2746 it had a little kick, lol. The very forst short I posted was made from an old cell phone video of me shooting it. I can't post a link but you can search for "2.5" Ruger Alaskan in 454 Casull fireball" and you should find it. I shot it at 50 yards from the sitting position. I didn't get a shot of the group but I held for the 10 ring.

[@rkf2746]

​@@Halfmilesniper Lol, I bet it did kick a little. Cool, I'll look it up. Thanks! Take it easy.

[@rkf2746]

@@Halfmilesniper I was able to find the video! Just about what I imagined. I liked how your buddies were offering moral support in the background. I think I would have to pass on shooting that hand cannon.

[@Halfmilesniper]

@@rkf2746 while it had a little recoil...notice two things, my grip never broke (but it did come off my knee, lol) and my sitting position remained pretty stable. The USS New Jersey style fire ring was icing on the cake, lol.

[@mogulrider]

LOL - how's the shoulder Cervus? Us old fellas throwing cannon lead need a recovery time...

[@cervus-venator]

Oh I've had a couple of weeks to recover since shooting this. I ended up getting sick and couldn't even go to the woods to hunt. I'm better now.

[@bkb5668]

100 yards easy with the irons. The 454 is more capable than most think especially out of a rifle.

[@cervus-venator]

Cool, good to know and thanks!

[@bkb5668]

@cervus-venator I don't own a rifle in 454 casull but I do own a revolver with a red dot and I regularly shoot a ten inch gong at 125 yards and rarely miss. I also shoot my .460 s&w at 200 yards and with a scope I can keep all shots inside a three inch group.

[@bayoumike544]

That 454 round hits hard! Before you move the sight try another brand of ammunition. I had a pistol once that shot way left with Gold Dot and dead on with everything else.

[@cervus-venator]

Oh good point. I'll do that to see if it is the ammo. I found it odd that the 45's were dead center, but the 454 was not. Thanks!

[@YellowHammer26]

👍👍 packs quite a punch, thanks Cervus

[@cervus-venator]

Yes it does! Thanks Lance!

[@tonyrafaelviamonte2114]

Ufff 454! 💪💪💪 también puede disparar 45 Long Colt con buen resultado cervus?

[@cervus-venator]

Sí, las primeras rondas que alcanzaron el objetivo central fueron el 45 Colt. Los tres 454 impactaron en el borde izquierdo y no en el centro. Alguien sugirió que probara una marca diferente de munición 454 antes de mover la mira, así que eso es lo que voy a hacer.

[@Charles_ONeal]

Hi Cervus! That is one sweet rifle.

[@cervus-venator]

Thanks Charles! I really like it too.

[@davedrake5809]

Beautiful rifle

[@cervus-venator]

Thanks Dave!

[@cliffyarboro1163]

Enjoyed the video that 454 is a hard hitter, that 45 colt would prolly down a deer also👍👍

[@cervus-venator]

I think if I had some 45 Colt that were not the cowboy action loads it would work just fine. I need to test some more ammo in it. I'll have to go pick some up. Thanks Cliff for the comment and view!

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

So you lever A round in to the camber and walk down range in front of it 😮

[@cervus-venator]

Maybe, but you never know what happens when the camera is turned off or what footage is edited out. I could have shut the camera off, taken the rifle and set it on the tail gate of the truck and then walked down range. However, that is not the case. I put it in half cock which is safe for a lever gun and set it on the bag. I'm confident that a gun cannot fire without the trigger being pulled. So I have no issues with it being loaded, chambered, in a safe no fire hammer position, pointing down range and walking down there to fix the target. The caveat to that is if there was someone else there with me then I would have unloaded the rifle completely.

[@paulfrevert3662]

Dang that's a serious round

[@cervus-venator]

It certainly is! Thanks Paul!
