Too bad Smith & Wesson wont make a 454 Casull??

[Mystro]

I know the great S&W 500 has probably killed the thought of a S&W 454.
I like the 454 because of the ability of shooting less power and cheaper 45LC. The reloading combinations are endless
I was looking at the S&W 500 but ammo is too $$$ and I would have to reload low power loads to practice with.
Any one else think S&W should have a 454 casull??

I wouldn't mind seeing one. I am looking at getting one for next deer season and more competition means more options. They do offer a .45 Colt but it is not what I am looking for.

Why would anyone think S&W might make anything but, their own 500? If you think S&W would EVER chamber for the 454 Casull or 480 Ruger, I have some stock in Whitewater left over. LOL I don't see it being done.

reports have surfaced about the 460 magnum, a lengthened 454 to fit in a S&W X frame, aka 500
Look here on the Highroad

Look here on the S&W forum

This You Can Take To The Bank.

S&W will be introducing an X-frame revolver in the new 460S&W MAGNUM that will chamber and shoot 454CASULL and 45COLT cartridges interchangeably.
You better sell the Whitewater stock soon...

ooooooooooooh..

I may have to alter a post i recently mad if thats the case wil terry....

 

[Mystro]

Yes, oh yes...If S&W makes the 460 Magnum, I will buy one for sure.

Its time for S&W to get off its butt and stick its neck out on some NEW ideas. The 500S&W is a step it the right direction. Now if only Colt would only do something new.

Now if only Colt would only do something new.

Colt has its hands full doing anything at all right now, let alone anything new.

That's what we needed

another new magnum revolver cartridge - bout time.

I thought the same thing until I picked up a Taurus Raging Bull stainless 454 with a 6" barrel for $350. I`ve since forgot about S@W.

I recently found a deal on a Ruger Super Redhawk in 454 and it's going to be my new target revolver. X-frame would be too big for the job.

And to those who think I'm joking about the target part check out my latest batch of reloads:

Short rounds are 45 ACP for my Taurus 455, tall are 454. The 185 gr SWC is doing substitute duty to FWC until I get some from Penn or start casting my own.

The 454 guns make great target pistols. Tight tolerances, good sights, big calliber holes, and a wide variety of available loads for everything from punching paper at 10 yards to sillouette.
