The Ruger .454 Casull with Corbon 300 would be comparable to shooting a VW out of a cannon

My "big toy" fires a 440 gr .50 cal at 1625 fps/2580 ft-lbs. Corbon offers a 500 gr .50 cal at 1500 fps/2499 ft-lbs. Fortunately, the revolver weighs 82 oz empty. That helps a lot.

Corbon's hottest .454 Casull load is a 265 gr at 1800 fps/1907 ft-lbs.

My dad was into the VW class stuff. 16 inch guns on the USS Iowa fire 2000 lb projectiles to a range of 30 miles. My dad had the 5 inch port battery on the Iowa during the Korean war. Check Sept 23, 1952 Wonsan Harbor for some of his handiwork. His crew nailed the ammo dump.
