I shoot a lot of Ruger only 45's (250 gr. HP XTP that I load) with my Ruger Redhawk 454. (At 50 Yards) They are a good easy round with a little kick. I shoot at least a box (20) of Hornady 240 gr HP XTP when I go to the range. (At 100 Yards) They are not that bad either. I'm 66 years old and If it is not that bad for me anybody who wants should be able to handle it. I have an Elite scope that is made for 454's and I have had no problems. I had never had a Pistol with a scope that I can shoot at a distance and hit any thing. So I am having a great time with mine. It's all in what you want to shoot. Each his own.
