my 454 is for sale,but if you reload ,the recoil is very manageable.
the only one load i didn't care for is the 335 gr corbon load. in fact it wasn't realterrible,but the last one stuck the case in the cylinder to the point where i waited to get home to hammer out the stuck case.
the 300 gr ltc di a good job,and i noticed in single action the trigger pulll is pretty light,which was fine with me.
i'm sure you'll enjoy it.a few years back i watched a guy shooting his
454 from 100 yqards,most hits were in the bullseye.he was using a bushnell holo sight.enjoy your revolver,dan
