.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.
.458 Lott
Jack Lott designed the 458 Lott Ammo. He had an adverse encounter in Mozambique with a buffalo where he suffered some injuries. This incident made him believe that ammo more powerful than the 458 Winchester ammo he was hunting with was vital for dangerous games. He wanted ammo that could drive a 510-grain bullet at 2150 fps at moderate muzzle pressure. When he couldn’t find one that fit the bill, he chose to design one of his own. The designs of the 458 Lott Ammo were on a paper diner napkin. The plan maintained most of the features of the .458 Winchester Magnum. However, he solved the case capacity issue by extending the case length from 2500 inches to 2850 inches. However, during experimentation, the case ended up at 2800 inches. With the new case capacity, the .458 Lott could drive a 500-grain bullet to a muzzle velocity of 2300 fps and 2570 foot-pounds energy. The .458 Lott Ammo can also achieve a muzzle velocity of 2150 fps with a 600-grain bullet. This performance is far higher than that of the .458 Winchester it replaces. It also provides superior penetration, which makes it an excellent fit for hunting dangerous games. It also features a tapered case that offers exceptional flexibility in reloading to lower muzzle velocities. The ability to reload to a lower velocity provides shooters with ammunition that has less recoil. Therefore, the .458 Lott Ammo is versatile because it works well for hunting small to medium games and is also a perfect fit when you’re hunting dangerous games like the African Buffalo and Alaskan brown bear.
