What he said!!! I have the last 20 years of Handloader magazines in my closet. Just about every load in those pages is on loaddata.com and much, much more. The heaviest "Ruger only" 45 colt loads from handloader consist of Oregon Trail TrueShot 360 grain LBT style WFN gc bullets Going right at 1300fps. This is from a 5.5" Ruger Bisley. In the article, Brian Pierce said he got terrific long range accuracy. With performance like this, who really neads to spend the money on, and endure the recoil and blast of a 454. I don't think anything in North America could tell the difference.
