When you need a .454 Casull load that punches above its weight, DoubleTap's Hunter line answers the call. This 20-round box pairs DoubleTap's famously stout loading with the 250-grain Barnes VOR-TX XPB, an all-copper hollow point that's earned a loyal following among serious handgun hunters. It leaves the muzzle around 1,800 feet per second and generates roughly 1,799 foot-pounds of energy, which is plenty of authority for anything you'd realistically put a big-bore revolver on.
The heart of this load is the Barnes XPB, a solid copper projectile with no lead core to come apart on impact. Because there's no jacket and core to separate, the bullet holds onto nearly all its weight and drives deep. On impact the nose peels back into sharp copper petals, expanding to roughly twice its original diameter and cutting a wide, consistent wound channel. That combination of deep penetration and controlled expansion is exactly why hunters reach for it on tough, heavy-boned animals.
This is a true woods load. It shines on big game like elk, boar, and black bear, and it's a trusted choice as a defensive round against the kind of critters that can ruin your day in the backcountry. The copper construction means clean, reliable performance, and the brass cases are reloadable if you run your own press. DoubleTap builds this ammo in the USA to a hotter spec than a lot of factory .454 fodder, so you're getting the full potential of the cartridge.
Shot out of a Ruger Super Redhawk, Freedom Arms, or any sturdy .454 wheelgun, expect solid accuracy and no-drama feeding. Keep in mind the .454 Casull chamber will also run .45 Colt, but this Hunter load is the one you want chambered when it counts. Grab a box, get some rounds downrange to confirm your zero, and you'll have a dependable big-bore setup ready for the field.
This is a dedicated hunting and big-game defense load. The 250-grain Barnes XPB penetrates deep and expands reliably, making it a strong pick for elk, boar, and black bear, along with carry in bear country. It's the kind of round you keep chambered when you're walking into heavy brush.
The XPB is a solid copper hollow point with no lead core to separate on impact, so it holds nearly all of its weight and drives deep. On contact the nose opens into sharp copper petals and expands to roughly twice its diameter for a wide wound channel. That weight retention and controlled expansion is exactly what you want on tough, heavy-boned game.
DoubleTap lists this load at about 1,800 feet per second with roughly 1,799 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. That puts it right in the heart of the .454 Casull's potential and gives you plenty of authority for large game. Actual numbers will vary a bit depending on your barrel length.
Yes, this ammo uses brass cases, so if you run your own press you can save and reload them. Brass also holds up well in storage and resists corrosion. Just inspect your spent cases as you would with any hot-loaded big-bore cartridge.
