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.
