The .454 Casull was finally commercialized in 1997, when SAAMI published its first standards for the cartridge. [6] [7] [8] The new Casull round uses a small rifle primer rather than a pistol primer, because it develops extremely high chamber pressures of over 50,000 CUP (copper units of pressure) (410 MPa), which are rifle levels of pressure ...
The .480 Ruger is built on the same frame as the .454 Casull, and was introduced as a six-shot model. While the .480 Ruger is not loaded to the rifle-like pressures of the .454 Casull, the bigger (.475 caliber, 12 mm) bore allows the use of heavier bullets than the .454 Casull, making it a good choice for handgun hunting.

Consequently, firearms that fire .460 S&W are usually capable of firing the less powerful .454 Casull, .45 Colt, and .45 Schofield rounds, but this must be verified with each firearm's manufacturer (most lever-action firearms can only feed cartridges within a certain overall length and bullet profile range). The reverse, however, does not apply ...
Raging Hunter 460 Black: 5-round .460 S&W Magnum caliber, can also fire .454 Casull and .45 Colt. Available in 8.37, 6.75 and 5.12-inch barrel lengths. Raging Hunter 460 Two Tone: Same as the above but with two-tone finish. Available in 10, 8.37, 6.75 and 5.12-inch barrel lengths. Raging Hunter .454: 5-round .454 Casull chambering, can also ...
The basic design of the Model 460 is based on another X-frame revolver, its counterpart, the Smith & Wesson Model 500, a .50 caliber revolver. [2] [4]Aside from the .460 S&W Magnum cartridge, the revolver can also chamber .454 Casull, .45 Colt, and .45 Schofield ammunition.
The Alaskan is available in .44 Magnum, .454 Casull/.45 Colt, and .480 Ruger, with the .480 model originally a 6-shot, replaced in 2008 with a 5-shot model to aid in spent cartridge extraction. [33] All Alaskans feature a brushed stainless finish and a Hogue Tamer rubber finger groove grip, rather than the standard GP100 style. [ 33 ]
However, with bullets of 400 grains (26 g) and higher, the .480 Ruger starts to show more potential. The standard .44 Magnum powders, in similar amounts, will push a 400-grain (26 g) bullet at over 1300 ft/s (thus yielding a TKO factor around 35.28 vs. 34.62 for a 325 gr 454 Casull at 1,650 ft/s (500 m/s)).
