Anyone had a 4" Ruger Redhawk converted to454 Casull? Thoughts? Yes. I just completed a 2014 Redhawk 4.2" barrel in 45 Colt to 454 Casull with a Colt Python style hammer by Andy Horvath.

Ashley Emerson of Garrett Cartridges brought out a 405gr 45 colt Load for RedHawks that runs 1250fps from a 4” barrel. I can’t imagine (or don’t want to) what gain you would really get from a 454 cylinder in that gun.
YMMV

I’m doing a 480. Don’t want full house loads. A carry gun. And shot shells as well. 284 is the brass

I've got Reeder built 475 and 500 Linebaugh Redhawks. They are absolutely brutal to shoot with medium to heavy loads. I will pass on a 454's faster recoil in this platform and just go with a tight chambered 45C.

With the extra length of the blown out 284 you get a nice brass shot shell. Necked down a bit so it isn’t straight. But just a lil Remember the rebated rim on the 284
