I also dont know much about the 454, but i searched around for a few minutes, and it appears that 360gr is the highest 'factory/standard' bullet weight. in fact, i checked a few powder manufacturer sites (Hogdon, etc) and none even listed data for 360gr. 300 was the highest shown, so looks like 360 is about it.
I work with a guy who has a 454 and he loves it. says recoil takes some getting used to, but isnt bad at all. he tells me he is planning on trying out the corbon 360gr rounds this weekend. if i hear from him, i'll ask him about it and see what he says.

Factory 454 ammo is typically loaded to about 50,000psi. The SAAMI max is 65,000psi. This leaves an HUGE area for handloaders to play with...if you can handle the recoil. Factory 454 ammo produces the same recoil energy as a 30-06 rifle. 454 ammo loaded to max pressure is down-right painful.
In factory form, however, the 454 has taken every animal that currently walks this planet, including African elephant. Loading it hotter only increases it's range and recoil. You don't lose anything in the way of "killing power" at factory loaded pressures.
