454 Casull

The .454 Casull is a “Wildcat” cartridge developed in 1958 by Dick Casull, Duane Marsh and Jack Fullmer. It was announced in November of 1959 by Guns & Ammo Magazine. The basis of the cartridge is a lengthened and structurally improved .45 Colt case. It went mainstream when Freedom Arms brought a single action five shot revolver chambered in .454 Casull in 1983, followed by Ruger in 1997 with a Redhawk chambered in this Caliber. Casull uses a small rifle primer rather than a pistol primer due to the extremely high chamber pressures. At Velocity, we strive to stock a wide variety of the best brands shooters are looking for.
