Sounds like you are firm in your beliefs and have ever right to voice them. I decided long ago when Clinton was in office to begin to invest in ammo and have been doing so ever since.
By the way, I have never shot a .454 Casull, does it kick like a mule?
It's all subjective. A .454 has more felt recoil than, say, a .44 special, but for some either is just fine. I've had some shoot my .44 special and have decided that's too much when I consider the .44 special a very mild round.
Want a wild ride? Buy a .460 or .500 magnum.
Yes, it kicks extremely hard.
Even so, my nine year old was bench resting it when I purchased it new 13 years ago.
