I got my first taste of a 454 this weekend and all I can say is "Whoa!!". You have to hold on to the baby like you would the side of a cliff luckily I am blessed with large hands. Another buddy who isn't exactly in prime shape and has girly-sized hands nearly knocked himself out with it on a previous outing.
It was a buddy of mine's and it was a 7 1/2" Ruger with a variable Leupold on it (extra weight that he says makes a hell of a difference). He had to go to 3 gunsmiths before somebody could get the scope to stay in place under the recoil of that cartridge.
One of these has definitely been added to my wishlist.

) I prefer the Winchester Super X 250 Gr JHP (I only need to wear one pair of shooting gloves) The 260 gr SJSP starts getting a bit hotter and the 300 gr JSP definetly calls for two pair of gloves.
