.454 Casull
Developed by Dick Casull, Duane Marsh, and Jack Fullmer in 1958, 454 Casull Ammo is a powerful wildcat firearm cartridge. The design of this ammo is based on the .45 Colt case, so both .45 Schofield and .45 Colt cartridges can fit well in 454 Casull’s chamber. Because of the high chamber pressure of over 60,000 CUP, this cartridge uses a small rifle primer instead of pistol primer. 454 Casull Ammo comes in a .45 colt case that is about 0.10 inches in length. Bullet weight is around 240 to 300 grains and delivers a muzzle velocity of 1900 feet per second. These rounds can be loaded to a maximum of 65,000 psi pressure and the pressure when fired will be over 60,000 CUP. 454 Casull Specification: Cartridge case: .45 Colt Case type: Rimmed straight Bullet diameter: 11.5 mm (.452 in) Neck diameter: 12.2 mm (480 in) Base diameter: 12.2 mm (.480 in) Rim diameter: 13.0 mm (.512 in) Rim thickness: 1.4 mm (.057 in) Case length: 35.1 mm (1.383 in) Overall length: 45 mm (1.77 in) Case capacity: 2.95 cm3 Primer type: Boxer Small rifle Maximum pressure (SAAMI): 65,000 psi (450 MPa) The 454 Casull is a hard-hitting handgun cartridge perfect for hunting dangerous animals. It is produced by several manufacturers and is available in different types including full metal jacket (FMJ), hollow point, jacketed hollow point (JHP), soft point, and semi-jacketed hollow point (SJSP). The 454 Casull is powerful and is loaded with a lot of powder to make the bullet travel at a supersonic speed. Recoil is stronger than similar ammos.
.500 Nitro Express 3-Inch
Nothing gets the blood pumping in the veins of many professional hunters like hunting hazardous game. They not only need long journeys, but they also necessitate the use of a firearm that is not your ordinary deer rifle. According to legend, the 500 Nitro Express was the favorite cartridge of famed Kenyan Professional Hunter John A. Hunter — a guy who killed more rhinoceros in the golden age of safaris than anybody else. The term ".500 Nitro Express" refers to one of three different ways to load the.500 Express case. The.500 Black Powder Express and.500 Nitro for Black Powder is the new name for the other loadings. The.500s bullet has a Sectional Density of 0.313 at 570 grains, allowing for great penetration even at close ranges, where this cartridge is most commonly employed. The.500 Nitro Express is a high-powered, high-performance rifle. When loaded with jacketed bullets, it can outperform even its black powder competitors when it comes to hazardous games. Within 50 to 75 yards, it produces 5,850 ft.-lbs. of muzzle energy. The weight of a well-made.500 Nitro rifle is normally approximately 12 pounds, but bigger calibers can be up to five pounds heavier. The.500 Nitro Express was created for Africa's and India's biggest wildlife, including elephants, hippopotamuses, rhinoceros, Cape buffalo, and water buffalo. Although it was originally intended for use in double rifles, the Farquarson action was also used in single shots, and at least one significant business (Heym) produced it in a bolt-action style. However, large game ammo generally comes with a lot of recoil, which not every hunter will be able to tolerate.
