Pretty much what I expected from standard 45 Colt ammo. But there are some very hot 45 Colt rounds out there. I'd like to see some of that against a clay block. Maybe 44 mag vs 45 Colt +P
The .45 long Colt is a hand loader's dream. I have been reloading it for 50 years. Power plus and very accurate. The original .45 pushed a 255 gr lead bullet about 855 fps. Jacketed 240,250,260 and 300 gr all match and surpass the .44 mag. Check the Nosler reloading manual for 300gr partition. How about 1100 fps? I have carried this load for 20 years when ever I venture into great bear country. The 454 will sure best it, but I can't handle the recoil and muzzle blast. My bear load is almost more than I can handle at 73 years old.
Buffalo Bore makes some 45 LC +P loads that are ridiculous. One loading is a 300gr. semi-jacketed flat point moving at 1350 fps. I wouldn't fire those out of my Colt SAA clone, but out of my Henry lever action or my Magnum Research BFR in 454 Casull, oh yeah.
@@ralphgreenjr.2466 Had a Blackhawk for quite a few years, the 45 Colt is a beast in a Ruger with a 7.5" barrel. Currently have a Charter Bulldog 45XL. Even with the 2 3/4" barrel it still hits pretty hard.
My 454 redhawk has a 7.5 inch bbl. Same for the 44 redhawk. The 454 is actually LIGHTER than the 44. At the range @ 100 yards the 44 hits center. The 454 hits 18 inches higher with a heavier slug. Both hot+P WFNHC buffalo bore grizzly loads. Both aimed 2 inches high at 25 yards. Both printing 4 inch circles @ 100 yards. Both shot off a concrete bench w a padded pistol bag. 454 has WAY more recoil. Might be why it hits higher @ 100 yd range. Go figure.....
@@liljohn309 , Thats what my redhawk is. The 454 Casull. Is there any other kind in a handgun? Wish id gottin the 460 instead. 45/70 hot load in a handgun. OUCH! 😁
@@liljohn309 , Just for the record, i live in the Alaskan bush. LOTS of bears around. At best my longest shot with the Ruger would probably be 25 yards or less during an attack. Ive shot lots of big assed bears with the hot loaded 45/70 & it works just fine. 1 shot center mass knocks em down & KEEPS em down. The 10MM is becoming real popular up here due to its faster rate of fire but i figure ONE shot that counts is better than 6 that MIGHT work. With bears, theres never enough thump & a handgun is just a backup in case the bear hits you before you can use the rifle. My wifes backup is the 40 S&W because theres no way she could handle the 454. Buffalo bore makes excellent bear stoppers for most calibers. Super hot, bone crushing, bear punching loads. Not cheap, but then neither is the hospital bill IF you survive the attack.
My buddy loads .45 with a 210 grain bullet with an ammount of powder I don't remember off hand. It pushes 1500+ fps and makes up for the lack of projectile weight. Shoots flat comparatively to loadings in 250 grain pushing 1000+ fps. Haven't tried it in a wheel gun yet but the single shot Thompson Contender he's got handles them nicely.
You should have said the rough velocity of the 45 colt since 45 colt ranges from 700FPS all the way to over 1400FPS. id love to know where in the power scale these fall into
I had a Ruger 454; you can shoot 45 colts in at as well I used to hot load 45 colts it packs a punch. It's close to 44 mags in power. I'm getting a Henry big boy soon in 45 colts.
Very true, standard loads in the same powder for 45LC are like a quarter to a third of the same powder 454 load. There are load table for uplaoding the LC for use in 454 and they are half- of the 454 load. Apples to Apples same bullet same powder. I load all of these for my super redhawk, and additionally 460 loads for my V460. I dont know the tables for the powders he has in those loads. Standard LC loads are very close to 45ACP +P+ , which is not going to be much from such a large pistol as the TRJ.
45 colt is kinda loaded lazy from the big companies. I think they feel someone is put to hot a stuff in those 100+ year old ssa. Relaoded in a blackhawk there a beast. 45 colt👍
@@isaacpulliam7767 I was looking at the Taurus .454 Casull with a 5 inch barrel but you have to take into account that they include the compensator as part of that measurement, meaning that the actual barrel is only about 3.25 inch.
The 454 Casull is the .45 "Long" Colt punched up...way up. Dick Casull used the Colt cases to work up his loads, but had extended cases made to ensure that they wouldn't be used in revolvers (like the Colt SAA) which would do a quick disassembly on them. Normal Colt rounds are kept to around 14,000 psi, Ruger only loads can exceed 35,000 psi, the Casull up to 65,000 psi.
I used to have a casull rifle with a 20 in barrel, I loaded up 230 hollow points max load, the bullets would fragment in flight, the best round is the 265 hollow point.
My friend has a S&W 460 magnum . He was shooting .460's , 454's and .45 Colt . I was shooting my .45 Colt handloads in a Ruger Blackhawk Bisley . Hellacious recoil ! He shot one in his gun and said it kicked as much , if not more than the .454 .Just sayin' .Yes ,the .45 Colt in an all-steel frame Ruger and Starline brass is not obsolete .
Pistol is an ancient term that encompasses all handguns. Not sure when the modern split between revolvers and "pistols" to describe semiautomatic came into vogue.
Isn't it a US legal thing? Certainly every where else in the English-speaking world a pistol is a pistol regardless of its action (after all there have been revolving rifles and shotguns and no one separates them out).
45 Colt is such a versatile round, especially considering it's age. I have killed a lot of deer and a cow elk with it. 454 Casull is a beast. One of my friends has a little Rossi 92 lever action chambered in 454 and has taken several elk with it.
The 45 Colt fun don't even begin until you grow your own😉 but seeing as you take larger game I'm sure you do most of the stuff you buy in the store (or used to😬) is loaded at practically black powder pressures you can really wake a 250 up ESPECIALLY if you have a Blackhawk or of course a 454 cannon but iv ran some stout ones from my cimarron and 1894
@@wolfmanrebel874 I killed that elk at 140 yards with one round of HSM 45 Colt 300gr Bear Load out of my Winchester 94 Carbine right through the lungs. I have loaded plenty of 45 Colt, but there are few factory loads out there that are plenty capable.
I didn't know a 454 had been put in a lever carbine? Super! That would be a sweet weapon for more care free carry in bear country, or on true outback trail. Nothing hit well with that is going to get to you.
@@johnshields9110 to my knowledge it has only been done by Rossi which is the most affordable IF you can ever find one and also Big Horn Armory which are built to order and can run anywhere from $2000-$5000 BUT big horn also has 500 S&W which is what they are more known for ,they also can make a 460 that I imagine would cycle 454 much like a 44 mag and 357 mag does 44spl and 38 all but I'm not 100% sure on that one but typically in the revolver world anyway a 460 can run 454 and 45colt as well as Schofield
Many years ago a very old fella told me that back in the day that you asked for 45 shorts for 45 acp and 45 long for the old conventional round. The Word Colt just kinda followed along.
Got the same gun in a longer barrel. Some say the gun isn't accurate, but mine can ring steel at 100 yards more often than not. The gun's so heavy that even 454 is just a pleasure to shoot! It's my favorite "barbecue gun" when you got the guys over and you want to make an impression. Too bad the ammo is super expensive, and that's when you can find it.
Was at a range in early 90”s and seen fellas piling out of trucks. One manloading a 454 handing to another. Evidently a one hand challenge made where they all worked . There was one shot fired ! He turned around and said don’t ever hand me that Gun again and walked off . First one of those I ever seen ! Might have been some bragging goin on 😂😂😂
Oh my!!!! Who needs to carry a whole mag of anything, when one 454 Casull aimed right will end the fight? I'm a newbie..this blows my mind! I came for the 45 Colt round.
Both are awesome in their self. 45colt has served time from the old west in cowboy loads to moder loading pushing into 44mag territory. 454 is awesome big animal stopper .
I've got the exact same revolver... Was figuring on the 45LC to be my budget load, and the 454 for defense...but now 45LC is more expensive than the 454! Crazy days.
I don’t know about anybody else but I think shooting clay is way better than ballistic gel! And 36 grs of Win 296, oh yeah, that’s some power baby! Awesome fireball too! Great video, can’t wait for the next one!
The Casull is rated 1800 FPE and the 45LC is about 1200 FPE so that was to be expected. Drop the clay and get some railroad ties stacked and then compare all the different handguns. Clay is child's play.
454 Casull most definitely a Bear defense cartridge. I own a Ruger454 Casull Ruger Super Redhawk with a 9.5 inch Barrel. I feel confident in the wilderness.
I shot a buck with the 454, back in 2001. It went down then got up and ran off. I was shooting a 260 gr HP handload. This first time I shot that gun at 100 yards, hit the golf ball. I enjoy accurate guns, but I don't like going deaf.
My dad got him one of the little shorty polymer framed Judges to have fun out on our home steel range. He got some upgraded rubber grips for it and it's now a pretty sweet little shooter surprisingly. I've been thinkin about buying a block of clear ballistic gel, but after seeing you shoot these clay blocks so much, I think I might get some of these instead. I aint so much concerned about exact wound cavities and such and these are waaaay cheaper. Another fun video! 👍
Kinda surprised about that 45 Colt! Especially with the XTP. The 454 would flat open you up if someone used it as a rib tickler! That thing is a “Bar Gun”! Big old Kodiak lookin’ fellers! Nifty video!
I have had the Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 Casull and taken elk, deer and antelope with it. I now own the Rossi 92 SS lever gun and it gives you near 45-70 (trapdoor) performance in a handy little rifle. She is finicky on feeding 45 Colt unless the a load the FTX tipped bullets. It is gun enough for the hunting I do these days.
As I was growing up I have always known it as the 45 long colt. But when I did my research on buying one in ruger Blackhawk I found out that it really was 45colt
Great video.Thats one hand cannon.I have some adapters for my single shot break open 12 guage shotgun that i shoot 45 long colt out of.I have adapters for most pistol calibers and 410 but i sure wish i could find one for that 454.That would be awesome.The barrel is short but long enough to aim pretty good.
I remember your 9mm video, and I’m surprised the .45 long didn’t do “more” as well. That 454 though- INSANE cannon! (I’d love to see a 2x4 behind the target to see what kind of penetration it’s getting after going through the clay, but either way, the videos are fun) 👍🏼
Great video! I just picked up a 6" Judge Magnium and found out there a TONS of different ammo that it will shoot! With moon clips and cylinder inserts! THAT would be a REALLLLLY COOL VIDEO!! From 22lr up to 410 shot shells?
The 454 and 460 would be a lot closer comparison than the 45c. I handload all three , and a max charge in the 45c doesn’t even get close to mild loads in the other two. The 454 will hang with the 460 up to the 325gr bullet range.
The debate over whether there is a .45 "Long" Colt cartridge is an on-going one that has been active for probably 75 years. Elmer Keith alluded to the arguments many years ago when he wrote "...Some newcomers to the game claim there is no such animal, but if they had shot the short variety that Remington turned out in such profusion before, during and after World War I they would see there was some basis in referring to the .45 Colt as the .45 Long..." (Elmer Keith, Sixguns, page 285)
Cool video Adam! I have a 454 Taurus Raging Bull and a 454 Lever Action Rifle - those are my primary bear protection guns for Alaska! You should try shooting those 454 rounds out of a rifle! I'd let you borrow mine but it's in storage up in Alaska, waiting on me to get back there in May.
45 colt factory loads are loaded to 14,000 PSI. Colt SAA and clones , will not hold up well to any more pressure. The 454 on the other hand is generally loaded to 50;000 PSI. NO contest.
45 Colt is correct. "Long colt" is a misnomer carried forward for over a century after people started calling it that because it was "long" compared to the 45 schofield.
Another great video. If you have a friend with a 454/45 Colt lever gun, you might try the same test. The longer barrel should give you more speed & less fireball (& it's easier on your wrist).
My Ruger super redhawk Alaskan , i shoot both 45LC and 454 casull. Zero recoil with the long colt and wrist busting, palm numbing fire ball heaving fun. I load up the first 3 with cowboy load 45LC and the last 3 with 400 grain buffalo bore 454, and give to friends to compare. No matter how strong they are, muzzle flip is always obvious
45 Colt name. The 45 Colt is the official name used by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI). The common misnomer name 45 long Colt is not required. It was never officially named 45 long Colt and it's use is incorrect. Yes, everyone's familiar with the 45 Colt cartridge back in the calvary days. The soldiers came up with the 45 long Colt designation, because of the shorter 45 S&W Scofield cartridge. I'm not stating this to change your mind, I'm just educating you on the only correct name 45 Colt.
a hot 45 lc is about 19.7 gn powder, and a 454 is about 27.5 and a 5 grain lighter bullet. no wonder the casul is so powerful. that being said. the 45 lc is a hoot to shoot
Who agrees that Who Tee should invite his subscribers over to his house to shoot all the rifles and pistols he has on that nice range. We ll bring some ammo if we can find any.
This is one Ive been waiting for. I bought the "Raging Bull" some 20 years ago. First shot I took was at a white tail deer ruuning straight toward me. I squuzed off a 250 gr jacketed hollow point at 70 yards, with the scope planted between his eyes. Result, TOTAL DECAPITATION FRON THE NASAL BRIDGE UP. That fur covered 7 point skull cap is still hanging in my garage and that was the last time I shot that rhino of a Revolver. GREAT COMPARE & CONTRAST VIDEO!

@@WHOTEEWHO please do. It would make a great video. Maybe the 308 for lift off. Guessing I'll see a chunk of that clay land here in Idaho.
I've got the exact same revolver... Was figuring on the 45LC to be my budget load, and the 454 for defense...but now 45LC is more expensive than the 454! Crazy days.
Crazy times
Now that was wicked! I love the 454 casull round man! It’s a beast!💪🏻
I don’t know about anybody else but I think shooting clay is way better than ballistic gel! And 36 grs of Win 296, oh yeah, that’s some power baby! Awesome fireball too! Great video, can’t wait for the next one!
Man Who Tee, I haven't been able to find 45 colt ammo anywhere for the last 5 months amazed you found some
I have had this for a year
454 Casull will definitely mess up the part in your hair!
The Casull is rated 1800 FPE and the 45LC is about 1200 FPE so that was to be expected. Drop the clay and get some railroad ties stacked and then compare all the different handguns. Clay is child's play.
454 Casull most definitely a Bear defense cartridge. I own a Ruger454 Casull Ruger Super Redhawk with a 9.5 inch Barrel. I feel confident in the wilderness.
45 long colt left a bad toupee. 454 was no joke.
Good testing as that 454 casull is a beast of a round....Good stuff....
Dang Whotee that Fireball out of the 454 about Cooked that Clay
I shot a buck with the 454, back in 2001. It went down then got up and ran off. I was shooting a 260 gr HP handload. This first time I shot that gun at 100 yards, hit the golf ball. I enjoy accurate guns, but I don't like going deaf.
My dad got him one of the little shorty polymer framed Judges to have fun out on our home steel range. He got some upgraded rubber grips for it and it's now a pretty sweet little shooter surprisingly. I've been thinkin about buying a block of clear ballistic gel, but after seeing you shoot these clay blocks so much, I think I might get some of these instead. I aint so much concerned about exact wound cavities and such and these are waaaay cheaper. Another fun video! 👍
Pretty impressive the Casull 454 as it's twice the energy of the 44 magnum.
There are some 300 grain 45 LC that are almost like some 44 magnums.
Twice the energy as 44?? How???

I think the 45 colt would have been more impressive if you’d hit it dead center first shot!
Great video Who-Tee! The more videos I watch with the. 454 Casull round, the more I ponder about getting the next handgun I don't need! 🙂👍
Kinda surprised about that 45 Colt! Especially with the XTP. The 454 would flat open you up if someone used it as a rib tickler! That thing is a “Bar Gun”! Big old Kodiak lookin’ fellers! Nifty video!
I have had the Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 Casull and taken elk, deer and antelope with it. I now own the Rossi 92 SS lever gun and it gives you near 45-70 (trapdoor) performance in a handy little rifle. She is finicky on feeding 45 Colt unless the a load the FTX tipped bullets. It is gun enough for the hunting I do these days.
I truly think you missed your calling by not announcing football games play-by-play! I’d pay to hear you do commentary of the Super Bowl
😂😂😂 I don't watch any sports
I love loading h110 in magnums. Always a good fire ball in a snub barrel
Casull is no joke. Very impressive destruction.
As I was growing up I have always known it as the 45 long colt.
But when I did my research on buying one in ruger Blackhawk I found out that it really was 45colt
The fact that you shot the .454 at 4:54 is great, nice touch
😝😝😝
That fireball was great!
Great video.Thats one hand cannon.I have some adapters for my single shot break open 12 guage shotgun that i shoot 45 long colt out of.I have adapters for most pistol calibers and 410 but i sure wish i could find one for that 454.That would be awesome.The barrel is short but long enough to aim pretty good.
I remember your 9mm video, and I’m surprised the .45 long didn’t do “more” as well. That 454 though- INSANE cannon!
(I’d love to see a 2x4 behind the target to see what kind of penetration it’s getting after going through the clay, but either way, the videos are fun) 👍🏼
Good idea. Thanks for watching Andrew
Great video! I just picked up a 6" Judge Magnium and found out there a TONS of different ammo that it will shoot! With moon clips and cylinder inserts! THAT would be a REALLLLLY COOL VIDEO!! From 22lr up to 410 shot shells?
The 454 and 460 would be a lot closer comparison than the 45c. I handload all three , and a max charge in the 45c doesn’t even get close to mild loads in the other two. The 454 will hang with the 460 up to the 325gr bullet range.
Every time you bring out your Taurus I am amazed at how big that revolver is. Makes my S&W 357 look like a mini.
Love that thing
Those heavy bullets out of a handgun will naturally hit high on the target.
When I go to the range I almost always take my .454. I shoot it last & it's nothing but smiles all the way home.
🔥🔥🔥
Great shots. The first clay you were shooting the right and top.
That is crazy!
The exit channel is scary!
That round freight trained right through that clay.
Seeing as they don't really make like a 45 short Colt I'm comfortable saying that it's a 45 Colt
The debate over whether there is a .45 "Long" Colt cartridge is an on-going one that has been active for probably 75 years. Elmer Keith alluded to the arguments many years ago when he wrote "...Some newcomers to the game claim there is no such animal, but if they had shot the short variety that Remington turned out in such profusion before, during and after World War I they would see there was some basis in referring to the .45 Colt as the .45 Long..." (Elmer Keith, Sixguns, page 285)
(4:20) Clayman there lookin' like the T1000 at the end of T2
Awesome man Great video.
Cool video Adam! I have a 454 Taurus Raging Bull and a 454 Lever Action Rifle - those are my primary bear protection guns for Alaska! You should try shooting those 454 rounds out of a rifle! I'd let you borrow mine but it's in storage up in Alaska, waiting on me to get back there in May.
Maybe try something with a longer barrel like a Ruger Super Redhawk with a 7 inch barrel? Get more velocity from the ammo.
45 colt factory loads are loaded to 14,000 PSI. Colt SAA and clones , will not hold up well to any more pressure. The 454 on the other hand is generally loaded to 50;000 PSI. NO contest.
In the slow motion at point blank it looked like the muzzle blast hit the clay. I think I'll get me a Judge and some 454. Wow
That 454 is grizzly bear defense medicine!!!🐻
45 Colt is correct. "Long colt" is a misnomer carried forward for over a century after people started calling it that because it was "long" compared to the 45 schofield.
Dang! I want a 460 S&W someday. Shoot some LCs, 454s, 460s, and 410s.
That 454 was mean excellent video as always. The one with the birdshot was insane, anyone doubtful of birdshot at close range show them that video.
Another great video. If you have a friend with a 454/45 Colt lever gun, you might try the same test. The longer barrel should give you more speed & less fireball (& it's easier on your wrist).
My Ruger super redhawk Alaskan , i shoot both 45LC and 454 casull. Zero recoil with the long colt and wrist busting, palm numbing fire ball heaving fun. I load up the first 3 with cowboy load 45LC and the last 3 with 400 grain buffalo bore 454, and give to friends to compare. No matter how strong they are, muzzle flip is always obvious
POINT BLANK AWESOMENESS in ACTION!!!!!! BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Picked me up a new revolver windicator 357 mag love it so far
45 Colt name.
The 45 Colt is the official name used by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI).
The common misnomer name 45 long Colt is not required. It was never officially named 45 long Colt and it's use is incorrect.
Yes, everyone's familiar with the 45 Colt cartridge back in the calvary days. The soldiers came up with the 45 long Colt designation, because of the shorter 45 S&W Scofield cartridge.
I'm not stating this to change your mind, I'm just educating you on the only correct name 45 Colt.
That first shot made your clay look like Saitama flicked a pebble at it...
The clay molding loses its merit when the colt is just short of a cannon itself. Rested 25 yd tests would make more sense in my opinion.
cool vid, now try a 360 grain buffalo bore, and a longer barrel, you will be impressed for sure.
.45LC is King, the most versatile cartridge, you can load it small, or high to fit any situation
My worst yet, was when I traded my 454 ragging bull. Thanks Who Tee Who 👍🇺🇸
Daggumit
a hot 45 lc is about 19.7 gn powder, and a 454 is about 27.5 and a 5 grain lighter bullet. no wonder the casul is so powerful. that being said. the 45 lc is a hoot to shoot
That was awesome !!
🔥🔥🔥
You sir have one of my dream revolvers, that 454 is a nasty round.
Who agrees that Who Tee should invite his subscribers over to his house to shoot all the rifles and pistols he has on that nice range. We ll bring some ammo if we can find any.
Ammo is slim pickins
This is one Ive been waiting for.
I bought the "Raging Bull" some 20 years ago.
First shot I took was at a white tail deer ruuning straight toward me.
I squuzed off a 250 gr jacketed hollow point at 70 yards, with the scope planted between his eyes.
Result, TOTAL DECAPITATION FRON THE NASAL BRIDGE UP.
That fur covered 7 point skull cap is still hanging in my garage and that was the last time I shot that rhino of a Revolver.
GREAT COMPARE & CONTRAST VIDEO!
